Holter Monitoring
24–48 hour ambulatory ECG recording to detect intermittent arrhythmias, palpitations and rhythm disorders during daily activities.
Overview
Holter monitoring is a continuous ECG recording performed over 24–48 hours as the patient goes about their normal daily activities. A small, lightweight recorder is attached to adhesive chest electrodes and worn during the monitoring period. The recorded data is then analysed by our cardiologists to detect rhythm abnormalities.
Holter monitoring is invaluable for detecting arrhythmias that occur intermittently and may not be captured on a routine resting ECG. It is widely used for evaluating palpitations, dizziness, blackouts, unexplained chest discomfort and monitoring the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic treatment.
What We Do
We provide 24-hour and 48-hour Holter monitoring. The recorder is fitted at our centre; patients carry a diary to note symptoms during the monitoring period. After return, data is downloaded and a comprehensive cardiologist report is generated detailing all significant rhythm events.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The recorder and electrodes must be kept dry throughout the monitoring period. Avoid bathing, swimming or heavy sweating. Sponge baths are acceptable with care to keep the recorder dry.
You should continue your usual daily activities — working, driving, walking and sleeping. The purpose is to capture your heart rhythm during normal activities. Avoid strong magnetic fields such as MRI scanners during the recording period.
After you return the recorder, the data is downloaded and analysed. The cardiologist report is typically ready within 24 hours.
