Affordable, accessible ECG Monitoring
Vista Health is a leading provider of private ECG testing services, offering ambulatory ECG monitoring to patients across the UK, as well as on-site testing.
An ambulatory ECG monitor assesses the heart rhythm over a period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. The test allows you or your doctor to gather information about your heart rhythm without affecting your daily routine.
What is Ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) testing?
ECG stands for ‘electrocardiogram’, a technology that helps diagnose potential problems with heart function. And ambulatory ECG makes the technology wearable, in the form of a single electrode connected to a portable device. This allows easy monitoring of your heart’s electrical activity and rhythm, 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
What can ambulatory ECG detect?
Like on-site ECG testing, ambulatory ECG checks the heart’s electrical activity. It can be used to diagnose a number of conditions, including:
-
coronary heart disease
-
angina
-
pericarditis (inflammation of the tissue around the heart)
-
cardiomyopathy (swollen or thickened heart walls)
As the monitor records around the clock, it can capture infrequent heart rhythms while you’re working, relaxing, exercising or sleeping.
How does at-home ECG testing work?
Our innovative monitoring patch removes the need for a face-to-face appointment, and can be fitted in the comfort of your own home. It’s a simple, six-step process:
-
Step 1
Request your monitor using this online form.
-
Step 2
Once your referral has been triaged, you will be contacted by one of our friendly patient care advisors to confirm our service recommendation.
-
Step 3
Your monitor will be sent by special delivery and will be delivered within 24-48 hours.
-
Step 4
Once you have received your patch, simply fit the device by following the instructions. For help during your test, please contact our support team on 0330 822 3499 or booking@vistahealth.co.uk.
-
Step 5
Once the recording has been completed, the monitor automatically powers off and a courier is organised to collect the device at your convenience.
-
Step 6
After your recording has been analysed, you will receive a report produced by the Cardiac Physiologist and overseen by our Consultant Cardiologist Clinical Lead. We aim to deliver the results within 3 working days of the monitor being returned to us.

How can we help?
Support
If you’re about to begin a healthcare journey, you’re likely to have a few questions. We’ve tried to answer the most common queries here - but if you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can always ask one of our friendly Patient Care Advisors.
I don’t have any symptoms. Can I still book a procedure?
Yes. Diagnostic healthcare can provide reassurance that all is well, and help you plan a healthy future lifestyle.
Can I discuss my results?
We offer a consultation service with GMC registered GPs to discuss your scan results.
*20% consultation discount will be applied when booked together with your scan.
How much will diagnostic healthcare cost?
Our diagnostic services start from as little as £75.
What if I cannot refer myself?
Self-referral is available in most circumstances. However, in some instances, we may need further clinical information. We will contact you if this is the case. If needed, we offer a virtual GP consultation service where we can provide you with a referral and a follow-up consultation to discuss results.
Can I refer myself?
We accept self-referral in most cases. Self-referral allows you to take control of your own health with direct access to our own specialist diagnostic services. We also offer a GP consultation service to provide you with a referral if you need one.
When will I get my results?
We aim to deliver all results within three working days of your appointment. If you have not heard from us within this timeframe, please contact us.
How long will my appointment take?
It depends on the scan or screening you choose, but most appointments take less than 90 minutes. We ask you to arrive around 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
How do I book an appointment?
For most services you can book online or by phone, and you don’t need a GP referral. Choose your service, your preferred location and a convenient date here.
