What are the benefits of 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring?

A Holter monitor test (Heart Monitor, Ambulatory ECG Monitor) is a lightweight, wearable device that records the electrical activity or your heart continuously. If you have experienced symptoms such as palpitations, skipping beats, dizziness, fainting, chest pain or shortness of breath and a routine resting 12-lead ECG examination has not identified a problem, your doctor may ask you to have a 24h holter monitoring ECG test.

A 24 hour ECG Monitor continuously records the electrical activity of your heart as you go about your normal daily routine. It’s used to detect and assess abnormal rhythms of your heart and their relationship to any symptoms you may be experiencing.
