HOLTER
by paulina_ncl, Apr 30, 2009 11:54AM
Hi there. I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse about 10 years ago because I had atrial fibrillation episode. Been on medication since then, health was better and worse. Last week I had a 24 Holter test ( need to do one every four months) and here are my results
Recently I have been feeling discomfort due to arrhythmias, especially at night. Had a couple of unpleasant episodes when I felt really weekly and unwell. I am going to contact my doctor to let him know about the results of my Holter, but can you tell me are they really bad? Is ablation treatment likely in my case? I am 42 years old female. don't smoke or drink. been taking beta blockers.
My results:
125981 QRS
hR MAX 213 MIN 51
6145 single premature supraventricular contractions (depolarisations?)
238 tachycardias
18772 ventricular contractions including 9887 premature ventricular contractions
12 Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
THANK YOU!

The numbers do sound troublesome to me, just a guess, but for sure discuss them with your doctor. And remember, you quality-of-life is a key element in you treatment. It may be that your measurements say everything is benign, i.e., nothing needs to be done to preserve life, but if you are very uncomfortable you should be given some helpful treatement of the symptoms.
Good luck.
