This week is Heart Week! Heart Week provides an opportunity for health professionals and the Australian public to start a conversation about heart health and take positive steps to reduce their risk of heart disease.

One health professional contributing to better heart health is Grace Lee from Capital Chemist O’Connor who is providing a holter monitoring service through her pharmacy.

A holter monitor is a small, wearable device that records the heart's rhythm and is used to detect or determine the risk of irregular heartbeats.

In this episode, Grace explains what providing the service is like, from a pharmacy owner's perspective, including the concerns, how much it costs, and whether it is actually worth it.

Enjoy.
