A Holter monitor is a type of medical device that is often used to detect problems with a person’s heart. It consists of an electrical device worn on the chest that continuously records the electrical activity of the heart.
The device is typically worn for 24-48 hours, or sometimes even longer if necessary.
A Holter monitor can detect a variety of heart problems, including arrhythmias, or disturbances in the heart rate, such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. It can also detect skipped heartbeats, known as pauses or blocks, as well as abnormal electrical pathways in the heart, such as Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome.
Additionally, the Holter monitor can detect more localized cardiac problems, such as ischemia, or decreased blood flow to the heart, and myocardial infarction, or a heart attack.
The information recorded by the Holter monitor allows doctors to gain insight into how the heart functions under more normal circumstances, which can help in diagnosing different cardiac problems. Therefore, the Holter monitor is very useful in detecting problems with the heart and in identifying the best course of treatment.
