Overview
At Atrius Cardiac Care, Holter Monitoring is a specialised diagnostic service used to continuously record the heart’s electrical activity over an extended period, typically 24 to 48 hours. This non-invasive test helps identify irregular heart rhythms that may not be detected during a routine ECG, enabling accurate diagnosis and effective management of cardiac rhythm disorders.
What Is Holter Monitoring?
Holter monitoring involves wearing a small, portable ECG device that records heart activity while patients go about their normal daily routine. The test provides detailed information about heart rate, rhythm, and electrical conduction throughout the monitoring period.
When Is Holter Monitoring Recommended?
Holter monitoring is commonly advised for patients experiencing:
- Palpitations or irregular heartbeat
- Dizziness or fainting spells
- Unexplained chest discomfort
- Suspected arrhythmias
- Evaluation of pacemaker function
- Monitoring treatment effectiveness for heart rhythm disorders
