Holter & Event Monitoring

A Holter or event monitor is a small recorder you wear at home. It captures the heart's rhythm continuously, so intermittent problems that a brief in-office EKG would miss can be identified.

When It Is Typically Used

Palpitations — Symptoms that come and go are captured as they happen.
Dizziness or Fainting — Continuous recording can link symptoms to a rhythm change.
Rhythm Follow-Up — Monitoring shows whether a known arrhythmia is controlled.

Working Alongside Other On-Site Services

Rhythm monitoring is the cardiac counterpart to the practice's ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

What to Expect

You wear the monitor during normal daily activity and keep a short diary of any symptoms. Your provider reviews the recording afterward.
