TLC 5000

The TLC 5000 is a Holter monitor, a device that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity for 24 hours or longer. It is a small, portable device that you wear around your waist or chest. The TLC 5000 has 12 leads, which means that it can record the electrical activity from different parts of your heart.

The TLC 5000 is used to diagnose a variety of heart conditions, including:

• Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
• Heart failure
• Coronary artery disease
• Syncope (fainting)
• Sleep apnea

After 24 hours, you will return the Holter monitor to your doctor. Your doctor will then download the data from the Holter monitor and review it. They will look for any abnormalities in your heart’s electrical activity.

If your doctor finds any abnormalities, they may order further tests or treatment.
