Description
Estimated cost for Holter monitoring at general public hospitals in China is about ¥140-320, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥200-400, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
Holter monitoring is primarily used to detect and diagnose intermittent cardiac arrhythmias, evaluate the effectiveness of anti-arrhythmic therapy, assess symptoms related to heart rhythm (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, syncope), and monitor patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease for signs of myocardial ischemia.
Normal Range
The normal range for Holter monitoring (动态心电图监测) typically includes: Heart rate between 60-100 beats per minute, no significant arrhythmias, and a consistent heart rhythm. The ST segment should be stable without depression or elevation, indicating no signs of ischemia.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Possible causes of low values or abnormalities such as bradycardia (slow heart rate) can include: Sinus node dysfunction, hypothyroidism, medication side effects (e.g., beta-blockers), electrolyte imbalances, and increased vagal tone.
High Values - Possible Causes
Possible causes of high values or abnormalities such as tachycardia (fast heart rate) can include: Physical or emotional stress, hyperthyroidism, dehydration, fever, anemia, and certain medications (e.g., stimulants).
