Holter Monitoring – Why Is It Done?
Holter monitoring is a portable device that continuously records the heart’s electrical activity, usually for 24–48 hours or longer, while you go about your normal activities.
It is done to:
- Detect irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias)
- Investigate palpitations, dizziness, or fainting
- Identify heart rhythm problems that may not appear during a routine ECG
- Monitor the effectiveness of heart rhythm treatment
Holter monitoring is painless and helps doctors understand how your heart rhythm behaves throughout the day and night.
SAB Tests can help you find and conveniently book Holter Monitoring services through available diagnostic centres, making the process simpler and more accessible.
