ABSTRACT:
A heart monitor for transtelephonic monitoring of heart activity and of the functioning of implantable heart valves. The monitor is provided with foam electrodes for monitoring heart activity and with a microphone for simultaneous acoustic monitoring of heart valve function. The monitor is adapted for easy use by the inclusion of an electrode gel reservoir and a pump for transferring gel to the electrodes. A cover for protection of the electrodes is provided. Movement of the cover to expose the electrodes activates the pump and moistens the electrodes with gel. Closing the cover seals the electrodes and prevents evaporation of the gel.
