A 24-hour Holter monitor is a portable device that continuously records a person's heart activity for a 24-hour period. It is used to detect abnormal heartbeats or arrhythmias that may not be apparent during a regular doctor's visit. The monitor consists of electrodes that are attached to the chest and connected to a small recording device that can be worn in a pouch or carried in a pocket. The recorded data is then analyzed by a healthcare provider to identify any abnormal heart patterns. The 24-hour Holter monitor is a non-invasive test that provides valuable information for diagnosing and managing various heart conditions.

I had one of these 2 years ago and only after changing doctors recently I found out it showed Bradycardia 71 episodes lowest 41bpm and lack of block flow to my heart Ischemia I think the doctor said it was, I am symptomatic with chest pain, SOB, weaknesses/fatigue. I have gone from having high BP on medication, to low BP 79/47 while on medication, off meds around 90/55, what tests should I be pushing for? I am in my 40s, non smoker, non drinker, cholesterol normal. I am UK based. Never been referred to cardiologist Please offer some feed back.

Hello. Thank you for the video . I'll have a holter monitor for 24h in a week but I have been told by my manager I can not wear it during work. I am working in a warehouse an it might be against the company policies. I am experiencing heart palpitations during work. What do you advise me to do please?

Concern for privacy. Does a 48hr monitor pick up conversations with my wife and or colleagues on sensitive subjects work related?

Always good to ask, these monitors record to a hard drive and detect only signals from the ECG.

I had a few heart tests done recently that all concluded that I most likely had Biscupid aortic valve with a slight heart murmur. I was then sent for a CT angiogram outside of hospital which disputed that finding .What’s your opinion on that finding?

@HeartMatters Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your feedback, generally the ultrasound/echo tests nowadays are very sensitive to detect bicuspid aortic valves. The CT usually provides greater detail at assessing the valve. Another test that some may consider useful if doubt exists is a transoesophageal echo test where the ultrasound probe is placed in the esophagus to gain a closer look at the aortic valve. I wish you the best in getting this clarified with your doctors!.

The fine abrasive paper that is used to prepare your skin for the pads is very very abrasive. So much so I was left with scab marks that stayed around for a few weeks. I won’t be having this again. NHs is a joke.
