Cardiac Testing for Arrhythmias and Irregular Heartbeats
Neuro Heart & Vascular Clinic provides multiple cardiac testing and monitoring options for patients with heart rhythm concerns.
Holter Monitoring
A Holter monitor records heart rhythm over a longer period and may help capture intermittent palpitations or rhythm changes that do not appear during a standard EKG.
Implantable Loop Recorder
For symptoms that are infrequent or difficult to capture, an implantable loop recorder may provide longer-term heart rhythm monitoring when clinically appropriate.
Echocardiography
An echocardiogram may be used to assess heart structure and function when additional cardiovascular evaluation is needed.
Treadmill Stress Testing
Stress testing may be considered when rhythm symptoms or palpitations occur with physical activity.
Your provider will determine which tests are appropriate based on your symptoms, previous findings, and cardiovascular history.
