Maren wore a holter monitor for the past 24 hours. It captures a 24 hour ECG stream from 5 surface leads on your chest.
The good news is she had an fainting episode during cross country practice, which got recorded. Hopefully the data will provide some answers.
One of the leads is exposed up by her neck. She didn't like people asking what it was. Today she's wearing a scarf.
She's a bit nervous about possibly needing a device like an implantable pacemaker or defibrillator. I'm doing my best to calm her fears, and assure her that it would allow her to continue running, and not restrict her lifestyle.
Carla asked me what if she needs a device, and the doctor doesn't want to put in a Medtronic device. Simple answer, get a different doctor.
