🩺 What is a Holter Monitor?
A Holter monitor is a small, wearable device that records your heart’s electrical activity (ECG) continuously, usually for 24 to 48 hours.

📉 Why is it Done?
Your doctor might recommend a Holter monitor if:
1️⃣ You have symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or fainting, but your regular ECG didn’t show a problem.
2️⃣ To detect irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
3️⃣ To monitor your heart after a heart attack or procedure.
4️⃣ To check how well treatments, like medications or pacemakers, are working.

👥 Who Needs It?

Patients with unexplained chest pain or irregular heartbeats.
Those with known heart conditions, like atrial fibrillation.
People recovering from heart surgery.
Patients experiencing symptoms that come and go, making them hard to catch during a short ECG.
✅ What to Expect:

Small sticky patches (electrodes) are placed on your chest and connected to the monitor.
You wear the device while going about your normal activities.
You’ll be asked to note any symptoms you feel during the monitoring period.
💡 Why It’s Important: The Holter monitor helps capture heart issues over time, providing a clearer picture of your heart health. It’s non-invasive and gives vital information to guide your treatment.
