A Holter & Event Monitor is a portable device worn continuously(24hrs to 30 days) to record your heart’s electrical activity. To monitor rhythm of the heart to detect cardiac arrhythmia or various degree heart block in the group of patients who present palpitation, presyncope or syncope. It also helps to capture live signals of patient symptoms.
An Event Monitor is similar but is worn for a longer duration, typically a few weeks. Instead of continuously recording, it is activated by the patient when symptoms occur, such as dizziness, palpitations, or chest discomfort. Both monitors are non-invasive and provide valuable insights for diagnosing conditions such as atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, or bradycardia. We use advanced technology in monitoring our Patients.
By tracking your blood pressure throughout the day and night, your doctor can gain valuable insights into fluctuations and patterns that may not be visible in a standard reading. This continuous monitoring helps in diagnosing conditions like hypertension more accurately and in tailoring treatment plans based on how your blood pressure responds to different activities and rest periods. It’s an essential tool for managing your heart health effectively.
At Yarrabilba Cardiology, our Stress ECG evaluates how your heart performs under physical exertion. During the test, you’ll walk on a treadmill while connected to an ECG machine, allowing us to monitor your heart’s electrical activity in real time. This provides crucial insights into your heart’s response to stress, helping our cardiologists detect abnormal rhythms or reduced blood flow that may not appear on a resting ECG.
Typically lasting 10-15 minutes, the Stress ECG aids in diagnosing conditions such as coronary artery disease and helps assess the effectiveness of treatments. Our advanced Strain Imaging, using speckle-tracking technology, further enhances this evaluation by detecting early signs of cardiomyopathy and tracking treatment progress with precision.
