About Holter Monitor Test

A Holter Monitor Test is a non-invasive, portable diagnostic procedure performed by a Cardiologist to continuously record the electrical activity of your heart (ECG) over 24 to 48 hours or longer. Unlike a standard ECG, which provides a brief snapshot, this test captures your heart's rhythm during your daily activities and sleep, helping to detect irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), palpitations, or episodes of dizziness and fainting that may not occur during a short clinic visit. The patient wears a small, battery-operated device connected to electrodes on the chest, which records data for later analysis. It is a safe, painless, and crucial tool for diagnosing conditions like atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, or evaluating the effectiveness of cardiac medications.

Key Highlights

    Continuous, long-term monitoring of heart rhythm during normal daily activities.Non-invasive, painless, and completely safe with no radiation exposure.Helps diagnose intermittent heart rhythm problems that standard ECGs might miss.Portable device allows for normal movement, sleep, and routine tasks.Provides critical data to guide treatment plans, medication adjustments, or the need for further testing.

  • Diagnosing suspected arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, or tachycardia.

Risks & possible complications

  • Very low risk. The most common issue is minor skin irritation or rash from the adhesive electrodes.
  • There is no risk of electric shock, as the device only records signals.
  • Accidental damage to the device or getting it wet are the primary practical concerns.
  • Discomfort or inconvenience from wearing the device and wires for an extended period.
  • In rare cases, the test may not capture the symptomatic event, requiring a longer monitoring period.

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.
