5 day Holter monitoring In Coomera

If your doctor at Ture Care Cardiology suspects an issue with your heart rate or rhythm, they may recommend 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Coomera for a more detailed assessment. This extended monitoring is especially useful if you experience symptoms such as:

  • Fainting
  • Dizziness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest pain

Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)

Even if you have previously undergone an ECG, a Holter monitor may still be necessary. Since ECGs record heart activity for only a short time, they may not always detect intermittent irregularities. A 5-day Holter monitor provides a more comprehensive evaluation, helping your doctor identify any hidden heart rhythm issues.

5 Day Holter Monitoring in Coomera at Ture Care Cardiology is a safe and painless procedure designed to track your heart's activity over an extended period. While the test carries minimal risks, some individuals may experience slight skin irritation due to the adhesive electrodes. This non-invasive monitoring method provides valuable insights into your heart rhythm, helping your doctor detect any irregularities that might not appear during a standard ECG.

Preparation for 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Coomera at Ture Care Cardiology is simple, but there are a few important steps to follow. You should take a shower before your appointment, as the monitor cannot be removed or exposed to water once it is fitted. To ensure the electrodes adhere properly, you may need to shave your chest, depending on your hair length. Following these guidelines will help ensure accurate and uninterrupted monitoring of your heart's activity throughout the five-day period.


The Holter monitor test is a simple process:

  1. Electrodes are applied to your chest.
  2. These electrodes are connected to a small Holter monitor device.
  3. You’ll receive post-fitting instructions

While wearing the device, you will need to:

  1. Keep it on during your normal activities.
  2. Wear it at all times, including while sleeping.
  3. Avoid removing it.
  4. Maintain a diary of your daily activities, noting the times you did them.
  5. Record any specific symptoms you experience, such as dizziness, light-headedness, chest pain, or shortness of breath.

On the 6th day, you will return to your doctor’s office with your activity diary. The data collected during 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Coomera at Ture Care Cardiology will be carefully analysed to assess your heart’s rhythm and activity over the monitoring period. Once the results are finalised, they will be sent to your GP, who will determine if further evaluation by a cardiologist is necessary. This detailed monitoring process helps in identifying any irregularities that may not be captured in a standard ECG, ensuring a more comprehensive assessment of your heart health.
