Holter Monitoring Test
24-Hour Heart Rhythm Monitoring—Anytime, Anywhere
A Holter Monitoring Test is a non-invasive, continuous ECG recording that tracks your heart’s activity over 24 to 48 hours — or longer, depending on your doctor’s recommendation. It helps detect irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that might not appear during a regular ECG test.
If you’re experiencing unexplained palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, or fainting spells, Holter monitoring provides crucial data for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
Why Is Holter Monitoring Done?
A Holter monitor helps doctors:
- Detect irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias)
- Assess the effectiveness of cardiac medications
- Monitor symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, or fainting
- Evaluate heart function post heart attack, angioplasty, or pacemaker placement
- Understand how daily activities affect heart rhythm
What to Expect During the Test:
- Small electrodes are attached to your chest and connected to a portable device worn on your belt or shoulder.
- You’ll be asked to go about your normal daily activities while the monitor records your heart's rhythm continuously.
- You’ll also maintain a diary of your symptoms, activities, and any unusual feelings during the monitoring period.
- After the monitoring is complete, the data is analyzed by a cardiologist to identify patterns or irregularities.
