About Holter Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a non-invasive, continuous ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) test that records your heart's electrical activity for 24 to 48 hours or longer as you go about your daily routine. Performed by a cardiologist, this procedure uses a small, portable device connected to electrodes on your chest to detect irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fainting episodes that a standard, brief ECG might miss. It provides a comprehensive picture of your heart's function over an extended period, helping diagnose conditions like atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, or tachycardia. The test is painless, safe, and requires no hospital stay, making it a cornerstone of modern cardiac diagnostics for evaluating symptoms that occur intermittently.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
