What is an ECG Holter monitor?

You can continue along with your daily activities throughout the test.

When you return the monitor to the office, the heart specialist, which in our case is your cardiologist in our cardiology clinic, will analyse the data, interpret them and produce the report in 12hours.

​

The test can provide your doctor with much more data regarding your cardiac rhythm on which to base any medical decisions concerning your health.

​

How is the monitor fitted?

We attach five electrodes (small sticky patches connected to leads) to your chest.

Small wires from the monitor are connected to those electrodes.

You will wear the monitor around your waist clipped to a band or carry it in your pocket.

Holter monitor electrode placement takes about 10 minutes to fit.
