A member asked:
What should i record in diary when wearing 48 hour holter monitor? if i don't have symptoms do i still write activity? what symptoms to include?

Activity and sx: The most important thing to document is if you do get symptoms of palpitations and the exact time. Listing major activities is helpful because the reader will want to correlate unusually slow or fast heart rhythms with your activities. Noting that you don't have sx is helpful too because it will help ascertain if you're not feeling certain arrhythmias. It doesn't have to be detailed - just a word.

Holter monitor results normal, note said "Patient diary was submitted, symptoms noted, no patient events noted." Does that mean nothing was seen when these events were noted? Have had two holter's in 10 years & both normal. Should they feel at ease?
