About this test
Palpitations and blackouts rarely oblige by happening during a ten-second ECG. A Holter records continuously through ordinary activity and sleep, and the symptom diary is what links what you felt to what the trace was doing at that moment.
What it measures
- Heart rate range over 24 hours
- Atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias
- Pauses, ectopics and correlation with symptoms
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
