The Holter Monitoring Procedure

Here's what you can expect during a 24-hour Holter monitoring procedure:

Holter Monitor Placement: Electrodes are gently attached to your chest, and the Holter monitor is secured in place. You'll carry the device with you as you go about your daily activities.

Daily Activities: While wearing the Holter monitor, we encourage you to maintain your regular routine, including work, exercise, and sleep. It's important to keep a diary noting any symptoms you experience, such as palpitations, dizziness, or chest discomfort.

Data Collection: The Holter monitor continuously records your heart's electrical activity throughout the monitoring period, creating a comprehensive report.

Holter Monitor Removal: After the monitoring period (typically 24 to 48 hours), you'll return to the clinic to have the Holter monitor removed. The recorded data will be meticulously analyzed.

Analysis and Results: The recorded Holter monitor data is carefully analyzed by our cardiologist to detect any irregular heart rhythms or abnormalities.

Results Discussion: The results of your Holter monitoring will be discussed with you, and if necessary, further diagnostic tests or treatment options will be recommended.
