Question 1

what does r-r interval mean on heart monitor results?

Accepted Answer

ECG: The waves on an ECG are called p-waves qrs complex and t-waves.   The r to r interval is the distance between the R waves in successive beats.   The distance is evaluated to measure the heart rate and to evaluate how regular the rhythm is.

Question 2

what does it mean if heart monitor showed multiple short runs of svt? caught 30 on 24 hr monitor. lasted only a few seconds, but this seems like a lot?

Accepted Answer

Svt runs: SVT refers to an irritable focus in the upper heart chamber(atrium) that starts firing premature heart beats. Short runs usually means less than several beats in a row. Multiple runs suggests that this happened often during the monitoring period. I recommend consulting a cardiologist for evaluation, and treatment. Testing includes a heart exam, EKG, echocardiogram, thyroid testing, stress test

Question 3

had a normal echo, normal ekg and a normal heart monitor what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Tests: Those values suggest that the heart's, structure, function, electrical activity and rhythm are all normal.

Question 4

can someone tell me what, pvcs, pacs, adn episodes sinus brady mean? these are the results of my 24hr heart monitor! please and thank you!

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor: PVC's are early beats from the ventricle, and PAC's are early beats from the atrium. Sinus bradycardia ( sinus  brady) is a slow heart beat that originates from the normal site in the heart. Many normal people have episodes of all three, and the significance of the findings in part relate to any associated symptoms.your doctor can explain the results of the monitor and put them in perspective.

Question 5

i had 2 normal ekg, normal echo and a good heart monitor results does that mean i am ok with my heart.

Accepted Answer

Tests: With those test results, there is a high probability that your heart is ok.

Question 6

i was diagnosed with accelerated idioventricular rhythm last year via heart monitor. my cardiologist told me that i was fine, but when i research it, it looks dangerous. what does this actually mean since im young. second opinion?i have palpitations?

Accepted Answer

: There are questions that need to be answered-like do your palpitations correlate with the rhythm change? How fast was your heart rate and for how long? What were you doing when the rhythm change happened? Was an echocardiogram done and what did it show? If you are not satisfied with the cardiologist’s assessment, then get a second opinion. A second opinion wouldn’t hurt anything! Good luck to you!

Question 7

i had pvcs on my 48hr heart monitor, but nothing from the atrium. does that mean no atrial fibrillation?

Accepted Answer

Atrial fib: The monitor did not pick up any evidence of atrial fibrillation during the 48 hour period you wore it. It is still possible that you could have had episodes of atrial fibrillation at other times, but from the information at hand there is no proof of that.

Question 8

stress test, echo, ekg, heart monitor thyriod checked. only shows a thick heart muscle whatever that means and the monitor shows heart palpatations. on verapamil twice aday still palpatations now what?

Accepted Answer

Echo ?: We try calcium channel or beta blocker for 4-6 weeks, if no result then may be echocardiogram and trial of different medications . Unfortunately it's very common and not to identify any cause behind the palpitation.

Question 9

was in the hospital.labs, ekg, heart monitor, and chest ct.ct report showed borderline prominent heart. what does this mean? can it cause sudden death?

Accepted Answer

Big heart: Your heart may be either normal or slightly large. The diagnosis can be somewhat subjective, but the heart is supposed to be greater than 50% of the thoracic diameter to be considered enlarged. To be meaningful this one piece of data has to be correlated with your symptoms and lab data. An enlarged heart can be due to heart failure and cardiomyopathy among others.

Question 10

can an mp3 player throw off a heart monitor?

Accepted Answer

Heart monitor: An mp3 player is unlikely to affect a heart monitor.
