What is Holter Monitoring?
Holter Monitoring is a continuous, 24-48 hour(or longer) test that records the electrical activity of your heart while you go about your daily activities. It helps detect irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that may not appear during a routine ECG.
Why is Holter Monitoring Done?
Holter monitoring is typically recommended to:
✔️ Detect intermittent arrhythmias – that may not be captured in a short ECG.
✔️ Evaluate symptoms – like palpitations, dizziness, or fainting that may be related to irregular heartbeats.
✔️ Assess treatment effectiveness – to check if medications for arrhythmias are working properly.

How is Holter Monitoring Performed?
• Electrodes are placed on your chest and connected to a small, portable device.
• The device records your heart's electrical activity continuously for 24 to 48 hours.
• You are asked to keep a diary of your activities and symptoms during the test to correlate with the heart recordings.

What Can Holter Monitoring Detect?
📌 Intermittent arrhythmias – such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.
📌 Heart rate irregularities – including too fast (tachycardia) or too slow (bradycardia) heartbeats.
📌 Effectiveness of medication – in controlling heart rhythm disorders.
