Holter Monitoring (24 hours)
Holter Monitoring is a non-invasive ambulatory ECG test that records the heart’s electrical activity continuously for 24 hours (or longer) while the patient goes about normal activities.
It detects episodic arrhythmias, pauses, or transient ischemic changes that a standard ECG might miss, helping clinicians tailor therapy accurately.
Overview And Clinical Background
Ambulatory rhythm surveillance
Holter is used to capture intermittent rhythm disturbances and correlate them with symptoms like palpitations or syncope.
It is a cornerstone test when surface ECGs are inconclusive.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Patients typically report intermittent palpitations, lightheadedness, or unexplained near-syncope.
The Holter test helps capture transient electrical events during everyday life.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Recording and analysis
Electrodes are placed on the chest and connected to a portable recorder; data are reviewed by cardiologists with specialized software.
Event diaries kept by the patient enhance correlation between symptoms and recorded rhythms.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Holter itself is diagnostic; findings drive therapy from medical management to device implantation or ablation when indicated.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
There is no recovery period — the test is safe and well tolerated.
Diagnostic yield is high for frequent but intermittent symptoms; extended monitoring increases detection of rarer events.
Why Choose Us
