5 day Holter monitoring In Helensvale

If your doctor suspects irregularities in your heart rate or rhythm, they may recommend extended monitoring to capture more detailed information. 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Helensvale at Ture Care Cardiology is designed to track your heart's activity over an extended period, helping detect issues that may not appear during a standard ECG.

Symptoms such as fainting, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) can indicate the need for continuous monitoring. Since ECGs provide only a brief snapshot of your heart’s function, this longer monitoring period improves the chances of identifying underlying cardiac conditions, ensuring more accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Holter monitoring is a safe and painless procedure with minimal risks. 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Helensvale at Ture Care Cardiology provides continuous tracking of your heart’s activity, ensuring a more comprehensive assessment. While the procedure is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience slight skin irritation from the adhesive electrodes used during the test. This extended monitoring helps detect irregularities that may not appear in a standard ECG, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.

Preparation for a Holter monitor is minimal, but it is important to shower beforehand since the device cannot get wet once fitted. At Ture Care Cardiology, we ensure a comfortable experience for 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Helensvale, allowing for an extended and detailed analysis of your heart’s rhythm. Depending on your hair length, you may need to shave your chest to ensure the electrodes adhere properly, preventing any disruptions in the readings. Following these simple steps will help ensure accurate and reliable monitoring results.

The Holter monitor test is a straightforward and non-invasive process. At Ture Care Cardiology, we provide comprehensive 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Helensvale to ensure a detailed evaluation of your heart’s activity over an extended period.

How the test works:

  • Electrodes are carefully applied to your chest.
  • These electrodes are connected to a compact Holter monitor device.

You'll receive clear post-fitting instructions to follow throughout the monitoring period.

While wearing the device, you should:

  • Keep it on continuously, even while performing normal daily activities.

  • Wear it at all times, including while sleeping, to capture accurate data.

  • Avoid removing or tampering with the device.

  • Maintain a diary of your daily activities, noting the time of each task.

  • Record any symptoms such as dizziness, light-headedness, chest pain, or shortness of breath.

    Following these guidelines will help your doctor obtain precise data for diagnosing potential heart rhythm issues.

On the sixth day, you will return to Ture Care Cardiology with your activity diary, allowing our specialists to analyse the recorded data from your 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Helensvale.

Once the results are finalised, we will forward them to your GP for review. Based on the findings, your GP will determine whether further evaluation by a cardiologist is necessary to assess your heart’s condition in greater detail. This process ensures that any irregularities or concerns are properly addressed for your heart health.
