The Holter Test involves wearing a small, portable ECG recording device connected to electrodes placed on the chest. The device continuously records heart activity while the patient performs normal daily activities.
This test is commonly used to evaluate symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or unexplained chest discomfort. It also helps assess the effectiveness of cardiac medications and monitor heart rhythm after cardiac procedures. The test is non-invasive and painless, though patients are advised to avoid bathing during the monitoring period.
