Help Reading Holter Monitor Results?

Saturday, January 9th, 2010
KkSunshine asked:


I am a 25 year old female and over the last few months my bp and pulse have been low. My normal BP was around 120/78 and resting pulse was always around the 70’s. Lately my bp has been 92/49with a pulse of 50. The Dr. sent me for a ECHO and Holter monitor. I’m not overweight or very active. Had back surgery a year ago and still inactive for now. Any help would be appreciated.

Minimal heart rate is 36 beats per minute, consistent with sinus bradycardia. Average heart rate is 57 beats per minute. Maximun heart rate was 135 beats per minute, consistent with sinus tachycardia. Nine percent of the time, the patient was tachycardia; 61% of the time the patient was bradycardic with a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute. 1.76 seconds was the longest R-R interval, indicating no significant pauses. There were no ventricular ectopy noted. There was 17 isolated premature atrial contractions noted, no ventricular tachycardia or supraventricular tachycardia noted. Thank you for replies.
