5 day Holter monitoring In Sanctuary Cove

You may need continuous heart monitoring if your doctor suspects irregularities in your heart rate or rhythm that a standard ECG might not detect. A 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Sanctuary Cove can help identify these issues by providing an extended recording of your heart’s activity.

Common symptoms that may indicate the need for monitoring include:

  • Fainting
  • Dizziness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest pain
  • Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)

    Even if you've previously undergone an ECG, a Holter monitor may still be necessary. Since an ECG only records your heart rhythm for a short duration, it may not always capture intermittent abnormalities. At Ture Care Cardiology, we use advanced Holter monitoring to detect heart irregularities and ensure accurate diagnosis for effective treatment.

Holter monitoring is a safe, non-invasive, and painless procedure with minimal risks. In some cases, individuals may experience mild skin irritation due to the adhesive electrodes used during the test. 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Sanctuary Cove provides an extended evaluation of heart rhythm irregularities, helping doctors detect potential issues that a standard ECG may miss.

At Ture Care Cardiology, we ensure that the monitoring process is comfortable and effective, offering detailed insights into your heart's activity for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment recommendations.

Preparation for 5 Day Holter Monitoring in Sanctuary Cove is simple, but there are a few key steps to follow for accurate results. Before your appointment, it’s important to shower, as the monitor cannot be removed or get wet once fitted. If you have excessive chest hair, shaving may be necessary to ensure the electrodes adhere properly.

At Ture Care Cardiology, we provide clear instructions to make the monitoring process as seamless as possible, ensuring reliable data collection for an accurate heart rhythm assessment.

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’ll return to your doctor’s office with your diary.

Once your results are finalised, we will send them to your GP, who will determine whether you need to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation.
