Holter:
A Holter monitor is a device used to record heart activity. This device helps to diagnose heart problems such as arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms). The doctor will ask you to wear this device for a day or two to monitor the heart activity and record the heartbeats.
During the test:
A Holter monitor has some small electrode patches that are attached to your skin using small wires to a recording device. The recording device is a digital monitor and recorder that is placed around your neck or attached to your best. Everything including electrodes, wires, and recording devices is hidden under the clothes. The technician will give instructions on do’s and don’ts and will ask you to keep a record of your symptoms and activities while wearing the device.
After the test:
When the Holter Monitor Test in Hyderabad ends, you will return to the outpatient facility. The electrodes and wires are removed and the monitoring device is sent to the doctor for analysis. Your doctor will contact you to discuss about next possible steps.
