Hi, On my holter monitor report says the following: Hours analyzed 23:56; Avg 75 BPM; Max 158 BPM; Min 54 BPM. Bradycardia runs 174; Pauses 0.Ventricular Events: Total Beats 13; Forms 3; Couplets 0; Triplets 0; Bigeminy runs 0; V tach runs 0; mean ve/hour 0.5. Supraventricular Events: total beats 18; couplets 3; svtach runs 0; mean sve/hour 0.8. ST Events: ST depression ch1 0; ch2 0; ch3 0. ST Elevation ch1 0; ch2 0; ch3 0.Impressions. THe underlying rhythm is normal sinus rhythm. The minimal heart rate is 54 beats/minute and maximal heart rate is 158 beats/minutes (during periods of exercise).There are very rare premature ventricular beats as well as very rare supraventricular premature beats.There are no significant runs of atthythmia. A month before holter monitor I had blood and urinalysis tests at the hopital. All were normal except for PH in urine which was >=9.0 limits being 4.8-7.8 and potasium 4.8. 1. What do Forms = 3 under ventricular events mean and are they dangerous? 2.How serious are 3 couplets under supraventricular evets? 3.Did high PH in urine have any effect on ventricular(t.beats 13 + forms 3) and supraventricular(t.beats 18 + couplets 3)events? 4. How can PH be decreased to within normal limits?Thank you.Ben
Dear Ben, thank you for your question. I think your Holter report is fine and you have nothing to worry about. I don't know what Forms = 3 is referring to. The 3 couplets are normal findings. High urine PH is also nothing to worry about, should not affect premature beats, and does not need treatment.
I hope you find this information useful. Information provided in the heart forum is for general purposes only. Only your physician can provide specific diagnoses and therapies. Please feel free to write back with additional questions. Good luck.
