Last Day With Loop/event Monitor... Data Collection Suggestions?

[AllAboutPeace]

Hi all,

I currently have a loop recorder (one that records for 1 min only when the button is pushed - with the exception of A-fib, extreme brady or tachy) for seven days. I bring it back tomorrow. I'm both pleased and discouraged to say that I haven't had any of the nasty heart symptoms that prompted me getting this monitor.

So, I'm traveling to see an EP/cardiologist on Monday and having a ttt the same day. I'm hoping that my tilt will show an accurate picture of what's happening, but, as others have experienced, it may not {one time my resting hr stayed at 95 at the docs office- when it is 50's at home}. Technically, I'm only to use this monitor for those nasty events, but... It's been 2 months since I've had a poor mans tilt, so I thought I would take advantage of having the loop monitor on, by recording a supine-to-standing moment while I'm in my own house. I recorded a tracing this morning of a 50 bpm increase within one minute. I don't think the doc will accept that as a true measure since no one was actually here to witness it, but I'm hoping it will be enough to show that the issues are current if things don't happen in a textbook fashion on testing day.

Can anyone think of any other data that I could get from this that would be helpful?

Thanks

Anything that sets you off in particular? Perhaps stair climbing, bending over, arms above your head... the poor man's tilt was definitely a good idea.
