Who needs a Holter monitor test?

A Holter Monitor test in Hicksville or Bethpage, Farmingdale, may be recommended by the physician if you have any inconclusive electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) results. In that case, the Holter monitor will be used to continuously analyze the patient’s heart rate over 1-2 days to obtain clear results.

  • It is usually recommended if
  • Patients have signs of a heart rhythm problem
  • Unexplained heart rate acceleration or fluttering
  • Unexplained fainting
  • Shortness of breath without any explanatory reason

At LI Medical Group, we use state-of-the-art Holter monitors to gather more information about your heart’s activity and detect any unusual heart activity. Our physicians specialize in creating personalized and holistic treatment plans to treat a range of cardiac issues.

What heart conditions can a Holter monitor detect?

A Holter monitor is specifically designed to record a patient’s heart activity over 24 or 48 hours. It helps detect heartbeat irregularities that the EKG may not be able to detect during the test. Cardiac monitoring with a Holter monitor can help diagnose a range of problems, including:

  • Fast heart rates
  • Heart palpitations
  • Unexplained dizziness
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Arrhythmia
  • Heart’s reaction during a stressful or unusual situation
  • Measure effectiveness of heart treatments

What Symptoms to Look out for During a Holter Monitor Test?

During a Holter monitor test, you will be asked to keep track of your activity, and press the button on your Holter monitor if you experience any of the following symptoms:

  • Dizziness
  • Chest pain
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Holter monitoring tests are safe and provide the doctor with essential information about your heart and its rhythms. Dr. Fagan will be able to use this recorded data to help diagnose any underlying problems and decide the next course of treatment.
