Symptoms That Come and Go
Palpitations, dizziness or fainting that come and go don't always show up on a short ECG in the clinic. A Holter monitor records your heart's rhythm continuously through everyday life, so it can pick up a suspected arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm) that a short ECG has not captured. It's also used to check how well heart medication or a pacemaker is working.
Recorded During Your Normal Day
The recorder is lightweight and portable, worn on a belt or a strap around your waist. You carry on with your normal routine while it records your heart's electrical activity for 24, 48 or 72 hours, or up to 7 days. The one thing to avoid is bathing or showering, as the device must stay dry. You keep a simple diary of your activities and any symptoms, noting the time they happen.
Non-Invasive, No Recovery Time
Extended ECG monitoring is non-invasive, with no significant risks. Some people notice minor skin irritation where the electrodes are attached. There's no recovery time - you go straight back to your day once the monitor is fitted, and again once it's returned.
Consultant-Led Cardiology
Our cardiology service in Sheffield is consultant-led. A technician fits your monitor and analyses the recording, and a consultant cardiologist reviews your results and talks them through with you. If a brief ECG hasn't explained your symptoms, extended monitoring is a straightforward next step.
