Title: Palpitations with Lightheadedness/Dizziness

My mother is 82 years old. She has been getting intermitted palpitations (Heart racing) feelings. We admitted to emergency department multiple times. Each time during the admission, the heart monitor in the hospital showed extra- beats. The doctors started her on medications to reduce extra beats and discharged home. After starting medications, she had lightheaded and dizziness.  We spoke to the doctor of this device and the doctor kindly attached it to my mother. 

During the first few days of monitoring the device found significant lower heart rate due to start of betablocker medications and underlying slow-heart rhythm.

The doctor informed me immediately and the betablockers were stopped. We continued to further monitor my mother for few more days and she remained stable

Physician Review / Comments:

This patient was given betablockers based on the extra-beats they found initially. Although beat- blockers is the treatment for such conditions in majority of patients, but in this case she is 82 years old and the medications made her clinical status worse. The patient was diagnosed with Sick Sinus Disease and may require pacemaker in future.

We successfully diagnosed the patients and now she will be monitored with the help of our devices for the need of pacemaker.

Patient/Relative Comments:

The doctors team has successfully diagnosed my mother with the help of cardiac zoned. Extremely Friendly to use with instant results.  Interestingly the diagnosis and treatment were adjusted very easily. No-wires attached to the patient and she was very comfortable to use. Thanks, team.
