Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 27 years old 5'5'' and weigh 225 17 weeks pregnant and have had previous heart surgery to correct a genetic heart defect known as hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. I have been having heart palpitations sometimes 4-5 times a day the past few weeks so my cardiologist had me do a holter moniter. my question is can a holter cause a false quickening?
A Holter can cause register a lot of artefacts, which should be interpreted by the cardiologist.
For this reason, it is necessary to carefully examine and interpret the Holter registrations. So, you should discuss with your doctor on the above issue.
