Overview

Understanding this service

A Holter monitor is a small, battery-powered ECG device worn outside the body. Adhesive electrodes on the chest record the heartbeat continuously while the patient follows a normal daily routine.

A resting ECG captures only a brief moment, so rhythm problems that come and go may be missed. Holter recordings provide a longer view of heart rate and rhythm and can be compared with a diary of symptoms, sleep, activity and medicines.

When is it recommended?

  • Intermittent palpitations or a heartbeat that feels fast, slow or irregular
  • Unexplained dizziness, fainting or near-fainting
  • Symptoms that were not captured on a standard ECG
  • Assessment of known or suspected arrhythmia
  • Review of heart-rate control or response to rhythm treatment

Purpose and potential benefits

  • Records many hours of heart rhythm during everyday activity and sleep
  • Can link symptoms and activities with the rhythm at that time
  • May detect intermittent fast, slow or irregular rhythms
  • Provides information that can guide further testing or treatment

What happens

How the pathway works.

Your exact pathway depends on your clinical assessment.

01

Monitor fitting

A technician prepares the skin, attaches chest electrodes and connects them to a small portable recorder.

02

Normal daily routine

The patient wears the device for the prescribed period and follows the centre's instructions about activity, sleep and keeping the equipment dry.

03

Symptom diary

Symptoms, activities and their times are recorded so they can be compared with the ECG trace.

04

Analysis

After the monitor is returned, the recording is analysed and interpreted by the cardiology team.

Before & after

What patients can expect.

The adhesive patches and wires remain attached throughout the prescribed recording period.

Follow the device instructions about bathing and water exposure; many traditional Holter recorders must be kept dry.

Continue ordinary activity unless the clinician gives restrictions, because the aim is to record the heart during a typical day.

Note the exact time of symptoms and press an event button if the supplied monitor includes one.

Questions, answered

24-Hour Holter Monitoring — frequently asked questions

General guidance only — your cardiologist will tailor advice to your health and reports.

Both record the heart's electrical activity. A standard ECG records a few seconds, while a Holter records continuously for 24 hours or another prescribed period during daily life.
Follow the clinician's instructions. Ordinary activity is often encouraged, but the device must be protected and any activity-related symptoms should be recorded.
The recording can still provide useful rhythm information. If episodes are less frequent, the cardiologist may consider a longer monitor.
No. It records the rhythm for diagnosis and treatment planning; it does not deliver pacing or a shock.
