Holter Monitor ECG

Experiencing palpitations, dizziness or an irregular heartbeat?

If you’ve been experiencing symptoms that come and go, a standard ECG doesn’t always capture what’s happening.

A Holter ECG records your heart rhythm continuously over 24-48 hours (or longer), giving a much clearer picture of what’s going on. This helps identify a cause or reassure you that everything is normal

We can send the monitor directly to your home anywhere in the UK. All recordings are reviewed by our experienced clinical team, with clear guidance on any next steps if needed.

Holter Monitor ECG

A Holter monitor ECG or an ambulatory ECG heart monitor as it is also known, is a wearable device that continuously records the electrical activity of the heart. This means that your heart’s activity can be monitored continuously rather than over a short period of time such as is the case in a normal ECG.

Ambulatory ECG heart monitors are useful for diagnosing symptoms that are not constant, such as palpitations or chest pain. It is often used to test for arrhythmia. It’s safe and completely painless.
