Hi I have been having heart palpitations
for two plus weeks. Would be great if you
could provide some advice. I am middle
aged and fit. Wore a Holter Monitor for 24
hours
results were:
Dominant Heart Rhythm - sinus rhythm?
Predominant arrhythmia - Sinus Rhythm and
frequent AE's?
Ventricular ectopic frequency - < 1%?
Mean Heart Rate 56
Max HR 105
Minimum HR 34
Ischaemic ST-T depression - NO
recommendations:
SR, marked sinusbradycardia during sleep,
?SET, ?review USE/TFT's?
Please what does all these results mean?
thanks

Current medical status: Heart Palpitations
For Two Weeks and some Chest Pain
Current medical treatment: Asprin
I am not sure about these abbreviations
(AE’s, SET, USE/TFT’s) but it looks
like your heart is generally okay. You
have arrhythmias (extrasistoles and
bradicardia) that probably cause you
palpitations.
You may need an echo-cardiography and
stress test for further heart evaluation.
You may want to consult a cardiologist
about this.
