Holter monitor

A Holter monitor is a portable device used to continuously record your heart's electrical activity, typically over 24 to 48 hours. It's worn on a belt or shoulder strap and connects to small electrodes placed on your chest. This monitor helps doctors detect irregular heartbeats, assess heart function, and evaluate symptoms like palpitations or dizziness. Patients go about their daily activities while the monitor records, allowing for a comprehensive view of heart health during normal routines. After the monitoring period, the data is analyzed to look for any abnormal heart rhythms or issues.
