24-hour Holter ECG monitoring
Holter ECG – this is continuous monitoring and registration of the electrical work of the heart during the day. This examination allows, instrumentally, to identify all types of heart disorders (arrhythmias) and angina attacks, even if the patient does not feel them.
The Holter ECG recording is carried out not for a short time interval, but for 24 hours, which makes it as informative as possible.
This examination is carried out as follows: disposable electrodes are fixed on the patient's body, which are connected to a portable recording device. A person leads a habitual way of life, and at this time the device captures all changes in the work of the heart.
Indications for Holter ECG:
- cardiac arrhythmias
- feeling of "fading" of the heart
- interruptions in his work, including at night
- pauses in breathing during sleep
- chest pain
- associated with physical or emotional stress
- episodes of severe weakness
- dizziness
- fainting and pre-fainting states
- rises in blood pressure
- myocardial infarction (less than 6 months ago) and suspected angina pectoris
- hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (thickening of the wall of the left ventricle)
- diagnostics of vegetative disorders – meteorological dependence
- evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of ongoing therapeutic measures
- individual selection of antiarrhythmic therapy
- registration of the pacemaker
- clinical examination of athletes and healthy able-bodied citizens.
According to the results of the examination, the doctor of functional diagnostics makes a conclusion, on the basis of which the therapist, cardiologist or arrhythmologist makes a decision on the tactics of treatment, if the condition requires it.
