2. Holter Monitor
A Holter monitor is a portable device used to continuously record the electrical activity of the heart over 24 to 48 hours, capturing data during daily activities.
A Holter monitor helps detect and diagnose irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that may not be captured during a standard ECG.
The monitor is attached to the patient with electrodes placed on the chest. It records heartbeats continuously while the patient carries out normal activities.
Patients experiencing symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or irregular heartbeats may require Holter monitoring to assess their heart’s electrical activity over an extended period.
Holter monitoring typically lasts 24 to 48 hours, depending on the doctor’s recommendation and the specific monitoring objectives.
3. CRP
High CRP levels usually indicate inflammation in the body, which can be due to infections, autoimmune diseases, or chronic conditions.
The CRP test helps assess the severity of inflammation and monitor diseases but is not used alone for specific disease diagnosis.
Yes, factors like smoking, obesity, and lack of physical activity can elevate CRP levels.
The frequency of CRP testing depends on the condition being monitored and your healthcare provider’s recommendations.
Yes, certain medications, such as corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can affect CRP levels.
