Telemetry is a way of recording your heart’s rate and rhythm. A transmitter is used to send this information to a monitor at the nurses’ station. The recording happens while you are awake as well as while you are asleep. This pamphlet answers questions such as why telemetry is done, where and how it is done, and what to do if you have any problems. The French version of this pamphlet 1893, "Télésurveillance", is also available.

Contents
Part I. Seizures, Epileptiform Activities, and Regional Localization -- 1. How Can We Identify Ictal and Interictal Abnormal Activity? -- 2. What Is the Clinical Relevance of In Vitro Epileptiform Activity? -- 3. What Is the Importance of Abnormal "Background" Activity in Seizure Generation? -- 4. What Is a Seizure Focus? -- 5.

Is There Such a Thing as "Generalized" Epilepsy? -- Part II. Synaptic Plasticity -- 8. Are There Really "Epileptogenic" Mechanisms or Only Corruptions of "Normal" Plasticity? -- 9. When and How Do Seizures Kill Neurons, and Is Cell Death Relevant to Epileptogenesis? -- 10. How Is Homeostatic Plasticity Important in Epilepsy? -- 11. Is Plasticity of GABAergic Mechanisms Relevant to Epileptogenesis? -- 12. Do Structural Changes in GABA Neurons Give Rise to the Epileptic State? -- 13. Does Mossy Fiber Sprouting Give Rise to the Epileptic State? -- 14. Does Brain Inflammation Mediate Pathological Outcomes in Epilepsy? -- 15. Are Changes in Synaptic Function That Underlie Hyperexcitability Responsible for Seizure Activity? -- 16. Does Epilepsy Cause a Reversion to Immature Function? -- 17. Are Alterations in Transmitter Receptor and Ion Channel Expression Responsible for Epilepsies? -- Part III. Models and Methods -- 18. How Do We Make Models That Are Useful in Understanding Partial Epilepsies? -- 19. Aligning Animal Models with Clinical Epilepsy: Where to Begin? -- 20. What Non-neuronal Mechanisms Should Be Studied to Understand Epileptic Seizures? -- 21. What Epilepsy Comorbidities Are Important to Model in the Laboratory? Clinical Perspectives -- 22. Epilepsy Comorbidities: How Can Animal Models Help? -- 23. What New Modeling Approaches Will Help Us Identify Promising Drug Treatments? -- 24. What Are the Arguments For and Against Rational Therapy for Epilepsy? -- 25. How Can Advances in Epilepsy Genetics Lead to Better Treatments and Cures? -- 26. How Might Novel Technologies Such as Optogenetics Lead to Better Treatments in Epilepsy?
