Holter monitor ECG
About
Holter ECG (Electrocardiography) is a medical procedure used to monitor the electrical activity of the heart over an extended period, usually 24 hours or more. This procedure allows for the monitoring of heart rhythms during a patient's daily activities.
Candidate
Holter ECG is recommended for individuals showing symptoms of irregular heart rhythm such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or other heart-related issues. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of therapy or in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions.
Preparation
Prior to the procedure, the patient typically does not require any special preparation. However, they may be advised to avoid bathing or showering during the period of wearing the Holter monitor. It is also important to inform the physician about all medications the patient is taking.
Treatment
During monitoring, the patient wears a small device that continuously records the heart's electrical activity. Electrodes are attached to specific locations on the chest, and the patient keeps a diary of activities to later compare the results with their activities.
Result
Holter ECG results provide a detailed insight into heart rhythms during the period of wearing the device. The physician will analyze these results to diagnose any heart rhythm issues, such as arrhythmias or other irregularities, and recommend appropriate therapy or further tests.
Precautions
While wearing the monitor, the patient should lead a normal life, keeping notes of all activities and symptoms they notice. It is important to follow the physician's instructions accurately and take prescribed medications regularly.
ZagrebMed patient reviews
I made a medical checkup trip from Sweden to Croatia at 9-11 October.
The trip was organized by ZagreMed. All went smoothly. We were greeted in airport and guided to hotel.
We had on time support with any questions regarding clinic and procedures as well as any additional services we would like to get in clinic.
Personal was kind and friendly, supportive. Clinic is very new and modern. All procedures were completed from 7 to 13. Some follow up was done with therapist a day later (after obtaining all results) who was available by email.
I will keep doing these checks periodically in Zagreb. Unfortunately, we do not have such high-quality medical checkup service in Sweden. Time and money wise it absolutely worth spending couple of days in Zagreb and get all results as well as see the city and try great Croatian food. Special thanks to Ivan and Maria who made it happen.
Extremely helpful and friendly staff. I got the required check-up and service earlier than expected. Thank you ZagrebMed for your great service, expertise and overall experience.
I got the medical service through ZagrebMed. Great user experience due to the professional approach from these people. I recommend them to everyone in need of swift access to medical services.
