Holter Monitoring

A Holter monitor is a portable device that continuously records the heart's rhythms for 24 to 48 hours. It's used to detect irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias that may not be visible in a standard ECG. Patients wear the device while performing daily activities, providing a more comprehensive view of heart function.

Holter monitoring is essential for diagnosing conditions like atrial fibrillation or palpitations and is often used to adjust medication or determine the need for interventions like pacemaker implantation.
