What is Holter Monitoring?
Holter monitoring is a continuous, non-invasive test that records your heart’s electrical signals for 24 hours or longer. The device is a small, portable ECG machine that you wear on your body, connected to your chest with adhesive electrodes. It tracks every heartbeat, helping your doctor identify irregularities that may not appear during a standard ECG.
Why is Holter Monitoring Important?
Some heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias) are brief and unpredictable, making them hard to catch during a routine ECG. Holter monitoring increases the chance of detecting these issues by monitoring your heart over a full day and night. It helps diagnose unexplained symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or chest discomfort, and guides treatment decisions for various heart conditions.
How is the Test Performed?
- Preparation: The technician will clean small areas on your chest and attach adhesive electrodes.
- Wearing the Monitor: The electrodes are connected to a lightweight recording device, which you can clip to your belt or carry in a pouch.
- Daily Activities: You will be asked to continue your normal routine, but avoid getting the device wet (no showering or swimming).
- Symptom Diary: You may be asked to note any symptoms you experience and the time they occur.
- After 24 Hours: You return the device to the clinic, where the data is analyzed by your doctor.

FAQ
What is the difference between a Holter monitor and a regular ECG (electrocardiogram)?
A regular ECG is a snapshot of the heart's electrical activity taken at a specific moment, typically lasting a few seconds to a few minutes. In contrast, a Holter monitor records the heart's electrical signals continuously over an extended period, usually 24 hours or longer, providing a more comprehensive assessment of the heart's rhythm and function in different situations.
