Holter Monitoring: All You Need to Know

Holter monitoring is a non-invasive diagnostic test that provides continuous tracking of heart rhythm over an extended period. Unlike a standard ECG, which captures only a brief snapshot of heart activity, a Holter monitor continuously records heart rhythms for 24 to 48 hours or longer. This extended monitoring period helps detect irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) and transient cardiac abnormalities that may not appear during a short ECG.
