A Holter monitor is a small device that records the heart's rhythm, usually for 24 to 72 hours. It is used to record the heart's rhythm and conduction during everyday activities.
Holter monitoring can be used when a regular electrocardiogram does not provide enough information.
Indications for holter monitoring
- To detect heart rhythm and conduction disorders
- Fainting, without a cause
- Cardiac and non-cardiac conditions that increase the risk of arrhythmias
- Shortness of breath, shortness of breath
- Chest pain
Helps detect arrhythmias that occur during moderate physical activity, signs of malnutrition.
Before Holter monitoring, an electrocardiogram is performed.
Holter monitoring has no significant risks. Some people experience discomfort or redness where the electrodes are attached.
The Holter monitor is usually not affected by other electrical devices. However, some devices can interrupt the impulses from the monitor's electrodes.
If you have a Holter monitor, it is advisable to avoid:
- Electric razors and electric toothbrushes
- Magnets
- Microwave ovens
You should also keep your cell phone away from the Holter monitor for the same reason.
