If your patient is suffering an episodic collapse the monitor can be set to record for up to 7 days and the set-up process for weekly recording is detailed in the fitting kit instructions. The monitor is preset to record for 48 hours, and in most cases a recording duration of around 24 hours is considered appropriate for assessment of heart rate or rhythm away from the clinic. Duplicate forms are also available from the downloads section. Your monitor will be supplied with a complete fitting kit including a Lifecard CF monitor, HeartVets Holtervest, electrodes, battery, instructions and patient diary to be completed by the client. The monitor is usually dispatched the next working day after receipt of the submission form unless you have specified a certain date. Alternatively you can contact us by phone. Owners are still expected to treat the monitors with utmost care during recording and are supplied with appropriate information regarding this (see Holter Monitoring for further information).Ī Holter monitor can be requested by completing the online submission form below or downloading and completing a submission form from the downloads section. We offer additional accidental damage cover for all Holter monitoring services at a further £21 + VAT per recording regardless of duration if selected when the monitor request is submitted.

Diagnosis is important in such cases, since recent evidence has shown that treatment of occult dilated cardiomyopathy can significantly improve longevity in Dobermans. This may be the first sign of a serious underlying cardiac disease such as cardiomyopathy, where Holter monitoring can help to identify dangerous occult arrhythmias. One of the main indications for Holter monitoring is investigation of collapse. The advent of small, lightweight yet robust digital recorders now enables us to offer this to dogs and even cats too.
Holter monitoring has become the standard approach for monitoring heart rate and rhythm in the field of human cardiology.
