Blood pressure Holter monitor (RR Holter) in Warsaw and Płock
The blood pressure Holter monitor, also known as the RR Holter, is a portable device that records blood pressure for 24 hours or longer, allowing for monitoring during daily activities. It consists of a cuff worn on the patient's arm and a small recorder that logs the results. In our Medical Centres in Płock and Warsaw, we offer blood pressure Holter monitoring and consultations with experienced cardiologists who will discuss the test results and, if necessary, help to select an appropriate treatment plan.
When to use a blood pressure Holter monitor?
The blood pressure Holter monitor is useful in diagnosing:
- Hypertension (elevated blood pressure)
- White coat syndrome (elevated blood pressure only in a medical setting)
- Hypotension (low blood pressure)
- The effects of hypertension treatment
- Blood pressure changes at different times of the day and night
How to prepare for a blood pressure Holter monitor test?
- Before the test, thoroughly wash the arm where the cuff will be placed.
- Wear comfortable, loose clothing, preferably with short sleeves.
- Maintain your usual physical activity and diet.
How long does the test last?
The test typically lasts 24 hours but may be extended to 48 or 72 hours depending on the doctor’s recommendations. During the test, the patient wears the device attached to a belt or on the arm, and the cuff automatically measures blood pressure at regular intervals.
What to avoid during a blood pressure Holter monitor test?
- Contact with water (bathing, showering, swimming)
- Intense physical activity
- Tampering with the device
