Holter Monitor
The Holter monitor, also known as cardiac Holter, is a diagnostic examination that records the continuous electrical activity of the heart over an extended period, typically 24 to 48 hours or more. This examination is used to detect and evaluate arrhythmias and other cardiac abnormalities that may not appear during a standard electrocardiogram (ECG).
It is applied in the following cases:
Detection and evaluation of abnormalities in heart rhythm, such as tachycardia, bradycardia, premature atrial or ventricular contractions, and atrial fibrillation.
Investigation of symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or chest pain that may be related to cardiac problems.
Monitoring the response to treatments for cardiac arrhythmias, such as drug therapy or implantation of cardiac devices (e.g., pacemakers).
Advantages of the Holter Monitor:
Provides continuous recording of cardiac activity over a long period, increasing the likelihood of detecting intermittent or occasional arrhythmias.
Safe and painless, it does not cause discomfort or pain to the patient and does not use radiation.
The patient can continue with normal activities during the examination.
