Holter Monitoring
Holter Monitoring is a non-invasive, continuous ECG monitoring method that records the electrical activity of your heart over 24 to 72 hours, providing valuable insights into irregular heart rhythms that might not be detected during a routine ECG. At Sri Raju Heart & Skin Hospital, this diagnostic service plays a crucial role in identifying hidden or intermittent cardiac abnormalities.
This test involves wearing a small, portable device called a Holter monitor, which is attached to your chest using electrodes. The device continuously tracks your heart’s rhythm as you go about your normal daily activities, including sleeping. Patients are often asked to maintain a diary to record symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or chest discomfort during the monitoring period. These records help our cardiologists correlate symptoms with any arrhythmias or irregularities captured by the device.
Holter Monitoring is especially useful for detecting atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, tachycardia, pauses in heartbeats, and other arrhythmias. It also aids in evaluating the effectiveness of heart medications or pacemaker function and in assessing unexplained fainting episodes.
Once the monitoring period is over, our experienced cardiac team analyses the data in detail using advanced software. This analysis enables accurate diagnosis and timely treatment decisions.
At Sri Raju Heart & Skin Hospital, we are committed to bringing world-class diagnostic capabilities to the heart of Kallakurichi. Our Holter Monitoring service helps ensure that patients receive early and precise intervention, preventing major cardiac events and improving long-term heart health outcomes.
