Lower costs, better outcomes: An analysis of cardiac monitoring after ischemic stroke
A new study has found significant improvements in readmission rates and healthcare costs in ischemic stroke patients who were monitored with mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry, compared to those monitored with implantable loop recorders.
The research is based on an analysis of de-identified Optum claims data on patients who were hospitalized for ischemic stroke between 2017 and 2020. Download the full findings here.

Key findings:
- Patients monitored with Philips Mobile Cardiac Telemetry - MCOT were at 38% lower risk for emergency readmission for ischemic stroke than those monitored with ILR at 18 months.
- Patients monitored with MCOT following stroke had $27,429 lower average cost of care than those monitored with ILR.
- In the 18 months following the incident stroke, patient survival favored those monitored with MCOT compared to those monitored with ILR.
