ambulatory electrocardiography

Ambulatory electrocardiography is a non-invasive test that records your heart's electrical activity over 24 hours or longer while you go about your daily activities. Using a portable device called a Holter monitor, small electrodes are attached to your skin to capture the heart's rhythms. This helps doctors detect irregular heartbeats, rhythm problems, or sources of fainting that might not show up during a short exam. The continuous recording provides a comprehensive view of your heart's activity, aiding in accurate diagnosis and guiding appropriate treatment.
