29M Holter report shows Max R-R interval 6.96 seconds during , cardiologist said normal
Hi everyone. I’m a 29-year-old male. I had a 28-hour Holter monitor. My cardiologist reviewed it and told me it was normal/clean.
Summary:
- Total QRS: 125,749
- Ventricular beats: 0
- Supraventricular beats: 0
- Noise: 1%
- Min HR: 60 bpm at 03:38
- Avg HR: 75 bpm
- Max HR: 141 bpm
- Tachycardia: 12% total
- Bradycardia: 3% total
- Max R-R interval: 6.96 seconds at 05:42 during sleep
- Interpretation: no SVES/VES observed
I’m worried about the “Max R-R 6.96 seconds” line. If this were a real sinus pause or AV block, wouldn’t it usually be mentioned separately in the interpretation? Could this be an automatic measurement error/artifact or a missed QRS?
I had no fainting, no syncope, no major symptoms. Cardiologist said the report was normal. I’m mainly asking whether a long Max R-R value on an automated Holter summary can appear due to artifact even when the cardiologist considers the study clean.
