Holter Monitoring Services at Dr. KNS Memorial Hospital
Dr. KNS Memorial Hospital offers Holter monitoring services as a diagnostic tool for evaluating heart rhythm abnormalities and detecting cardiac irregularities. Holter monitoring is a non-invasive procedure that provides continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring over a period of 24 to 48 hours, allowing for the detection of transient heart rhythm disturbances that may not be captured during a standard ECG.
State-of-the-Art Holter Monitoring Technology
Our hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art Holter monitoring equipment, including compact and lightweight Holter recorders that patients can wear comfortably throughout their daily activities. These devices continuously record the heart's electrical activity, capturing data on heart rate, rhythm, and cardiac events over an extended period.
Indications for Holter Monitoring
Holter monitoring may be recommended for patients experiencing symptoms such as:
- Palpitations or irregular heartbeat
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Fainting or syncope
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Evaluation of symptoms suggestive of arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or bradycardia
Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation
Holter monitoring provides valuable diagnostic information to aid in the diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias and other heart rhythm disturbances. By recording the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, our cardiologists can identify abnormalities, assess the frequency and duration of arrhythmic events, and determine the underlying cause of symptoms.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
Holter monitoring is a minimally invasive procedure that involves applying electrodes (small adhesive patches) to the chest to detect and record the heart's electrical signals. Patients wear the Holter monitor device, which is small and portable, for 24 to 48 hours while engaging in their normal daily activities. During this time, the device continuously records ECG data, which is later analyzed by our cardiologists to assess heart rhythm and detect abnormalities.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Report
After the monitoring period is complete, the recorded ECG data is analyzed by our experienced cardiologists to generate a comprehensive diagnostic report. This report provides detailed information on heart rate variability, rhythm disturbances, and any abnormal findings detected during the monitoring period. Based on the results, our cardiologists can make recommendations for further evaluation or treatment as needed.
