American Heart Center has a state of the art 24 Hour Holter Monitor which is interpreted by an American Board-Certified Cardiologist.
A Holter monitor is a medical device that records the heartbeat and checks for unusual signs. Doctors may order 24-hour Holter monitoring if they need more information about a person’s heart.
The doctor may order Holter monitor for 12, 24, or 48 hours, depending on the symptoms and how often they occur.
A doctor may ask for Holter monitoring if a person has symptoms such as:
- Chest pain
- a fast or slow heartbeat
- dizziness
- weakness or fatigue
- feeling out of breath
- a fluttering sensation in the heart
- an uneven heartbeat
- the feeling of skipping heartbeats
- dizziness while using a pacemaker
You may need this test to detect heart problems like:
- Chest Pain
- Angina
- Palpitations
- Coronary Artery Disease
- Valvular Heart Disease
- Cardiac Arrhythmia
- Tachycardia
- Supra ventricular Tachycardia
- Atrial Fibrillation Bradycardia
- Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC’s)
After the testing period, a person returns to their doctor to have the monitor removed. Turn in any notes to the doctor for review. The doctor will consider the monitor’s readings and the person’s notes when making a diagnosis. The Holter monitor’s readings may reveal an underlying heart condition, new symptoms, and potential triggers. It may also help to show problems caused by medication.
