In the same vein as an ECG, a Holter Monitor is an essential diagnostic tool that meticulously records your heart’s activity over a sustained period. This compact device, designed for portability, tracks the rhythm and rate of your heartbeat, yielding a detailed record of your heart’s performance in real-time.
Our practice offers 24-hour and 48-hour Holter monitoring for a continuous and comprehensive assessment of your heart’s function over one or two days, respectively. These tests provide us with the ability to detect sporadic or intermittent irregularities that a standard ECG might miss due to its shorter recording period.
For those with infrequent symptoms or if a more extended monitoring period is required, we also offer a 30-day Holter monitoring option. This extended monitoring can significantly enhance our understanding of your heart’s behaviour over a typical month, making it possible to identify and diagnose less frequent but potentially significant cardiac events.
By providing these different monitoring durations, we are committed to ensuring thorough and precise cardiac evaluations, enhancing our ability to deliver the most effective, individualized care.
