Hi I have been having heart palpitations for two plus weeks. Woudl 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

Hi everyone!

'I'm new to this forum and I was wondering if someone can help me interpret these findings? I have been suffering from heart palpitations for a couple of years. Thank you so much for your time!

IMPRESSION OF THE FINDINGS:
  1. Predominate Rhythm:  RSR; occasional PVCs without VT or atrial arrhythmias
  2. Symptom correlation:  Two episodes of palpitations associated with occasional PVCs

Diagnosis: PALPITATIONS : ICD10 = R00.2 / ICD9 = 785.1 / SNOMED = 80313002

Palpitations
Major Problem: PALPITATIONS : ICD10 = R00.2 / ICD9 = 785.1 / SNOMED = 80313002

Hello and thanks for you comments

I have an appointment with doctor in two weeks and hence was trying to understand results prior to then.

thanks

Hello and welcome to the Heart Rhythm Community!  

I am not able to decipher all of the report, but here is what I can tell you....

Dominant Heart Rhythm - sinus rhythm (normal)

Predominant arrhythmia - Sinus Rhythm and frequent AE's? (not sure what AE refers to but it COULD be atrial ectopics....which are OK in a structurally normal heart).  It could stand for something else; that's just my guess.

Ventricular ectopic frequency - < 1%? - These are extra heart beats that originate in the heart's ventricles instread of the heart's normal pacemaker.  They are considered insignificant in a structurally normal heart.  They FEEL like skipped beats, but in reality, they are extra beats.

Mean Heart Rate 56 - average heart rate during the testing period
Max HR 105 - maximum heart rate during the testing period
Minimum HR 34 - minimum heart rate during the testing period (low)

Ischaemic ST-T depression - NO

recommendations:
SR, marked sinusbradycardia during sleep, ?SET, ?review USE/TFT's?  - SR means sinus rhythm (normal).  Sinus bradycardia refers to a low heart rate, but not an arrythmia.  Nor sure about "SET", "USE/TFT's"

Has the doctor discussed the results with you?
