Comprehensive 7-Day Heart Check

If your symptoms occur only occasionally and cannot be detected during a routine heart exam or simple electrocardiogram (ECG), our specialists may recommend a 7-day ECG.

Our 1-week ECG allows your heartbeat to be monitored continuously over a week. This test will reveal how your heart responds to rest and activity, stress, and changes in medication.

Understanding 7-Day ECG Monitoring

Extended monitoring involves recording your heart’s electrical activity 24/7 for a full week, capturing irregularities that may not appear during a shorter test. This thorough approach helps in identifying issues such as arrhythmias, palpitations, or unexplained chest pain, providing your doctor with comprehensive data for an accurate diagnosis.

The device used for this test is wearable and discreet, ensuring that it doesn’t interfere with your daily activities. This allows you to continue with your normal routine while your heart is continuously monitored.

Advantages Of Continuous Tracking

Early detection plays a crucial role in identifying potential heart issues before they escalate into more serious conditions. By conducting a thorough assessment and obtaining comprehensive data, you gain an in-depth understanding of your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity.

This extensive information not only highlights any irregularities but also provides valuable insights into your heart’s overall health. With this detailed data, personalised care becomes possible, allowing your healthcare provider to tailor treatments and lifestyle recommendations specifically to your individual needs and circumstances, ultimately supporting better heart health and well-being.

How A 7-Day Heart Monitor Can Enhance Preventive Care

  • Support For At-Risk Individuals: For those with a family history of heart disease or existing risk factors, a 7-Day ECG provides valuable information to help manage and reduce risks effectively.
  • Enhanced Monitoring Accuracy: Extended monitoring over a week offers a more accurate picture of your heart’s behaviour under various conditions, leading to more precise diagnostics and better-informed treatment plans.

The Procedure

preparing for appointment

Pre-Appointment

Prepare for your ECG by wearing loose clothing, avoiding lotions on your chest, and informing your provider about any medications you are taking. Stay relaxed, avoid caffeine if possible, and follow your provider’s instructions to ensure accurate results.

during the appointment

Appointment

A healthcare professional will attach electrodes to your chest and connect them to a small, portable recording device, which you will wear for 7 days. You will receive instructions on how to use the device, including how to press a button if you experience symptoms. Continue with your normal activities, but avoid anything that might dislodge the electrodes or damage the device. Keep a diary of any symptoms, such as chest pain, palpitations, or dizziness, and record the times they occur.

post appointment

Post-Appointment

After 7 days, return to the clinic to have the device removed. The recorded data will be analysed by a healthcare professional to check for any abnormalities. If needed, gently cleanse your skin to remove any adhesive residue.

My chest pain comes and goes. Should I see a doctor?
Even if your chest discomfort is only minor, or resolves quickly, it is still recommended that you make an appointment to see a doctor to assess the situation and find the cause. Some non-emergency causes of chest pain include gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), bone, muscle, or lung problems, anxiety, and panic attacks.
Do I have to carry a special device around?
Not exactly. The monitor consists of small sensors which are stuck onto your chest, and then attached to a device that either hangs around your neck or is attached to your clothing near your waist. You will have to make sure to keep the device dry, but other than that it is not difficult to wear.
Why do I need to keep an events diary whilst I am being monitored?
The events diary allows your doctor to coordinate your results with any periods of activity, in order to understand whether your symptoms happen at rest or during exertion. This information is important in getting you a firm diagnosis.
