The Holter
Do you suffer from arrhythmia? The Holter is a useful examination for the diagnosis of disorders of cardiac conduction and rhythm disorders, especially if paroxysmal (that is to say, intermittent), and sometimes asymptomatic (not felt by the patient). One can well know the heart rate maximum and minimum, the existence or not of bradycardia, of tachycardia , the number and the type of premature.
The analysis of repolarization disorders (ST segment) assesses the presence of ischemic heart and can be indicative of disease coronary. The holter allows to also evaluate the effectiveness of a given treatment against rhythm disorders.

MAPA
Do you suffer from arterial hypertension? An ambulatory blood pressure monitor is a portable blood pressure recording device. It is used to record blood pressure readings at specified times during a 24-hour period. The monitor consists of an arm cuff attached by a flexible rubber tube to a light-weight monitor. The monitor sits in a pouch secured to a waist belt or shoulder strap.
An ambulatory blood pressure monitor may be used to:
An ambulatory blood pressure monitor may be used to:
- Assess patients whose blood pressure tends to increase in the doctor's office (white coat syndrome)
- Evaluate extent of hypertension (high blood pressure) or hypotension (low blood pressure)
- Monitor the effectiveness of blood pressure medications
Stress and resting EKG
The resting EKG is a simple, quick and painless test. The resting EKG can detect certain heart conditions such as hypertrophy of heart, ischemia, myocardial infarction, sequelae of myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, etc. The test takes about 5 minutes and no preparation is necessary.
If you have a prescription for a stress EKG, you can call 514 934-2334 extension 297 to book an appointment. We will quickly forward your results to your physician.
