Holter / Ambulatory
ECG (Home Delivered)
A portable heart monitoring test that records your heart’s electrical activity continuously for 24–48 hours while you carry out your normal daily routine at home.
Overview of the Test
A Holter Monitor Test, also called Ambulatory ECG monitoring, is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to continuously record your heart’s electrical activity over an extended period, usually 24 to 48 hours.
Unlike a standard ECG performed in a clinic that records heart activity for only a few seconds, a Holter monitor captures thousands of heartbeats during normal daily activities. This allows cardiologists to detect irregular heart rhythms, intermittent cardiac issues, and symptoms that may not appear during a routine ECG test.
With our home-delivered Holter ECG service, patients can conveniently monitor their heart health without needing to stay in a hospital or diagnostic center.
Who It’s For
A Holter ECG test is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms that may indicate heart rhythm abnormalities or cardiovascular problems.
This test may be suitable if you experience:
Palpitations or irregular heartbeat
Unexplained dizziness or fainting
Episodes of chest discomfort
Shortness of breath
Suspected arrhythmias
Monitoring effectiveness of heart medications
What It Detects
Holter monitoring helps cardiologists detect several cardiac rhythm disorders and heart conditions, including:
Atrial fibrillation
Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
Tachycardia (fast heart rate)
Premature heartbeats
Silent ischemia (reduced blood flow to the heart)
Heart rhythm irregularities during activity or sleep
How It Works
During the test, small adhesive electrodes are placed on your chest and connected to a lightweight portable ECG recorder.
This device records your heart’s electrical signals throughout the monitoring period while you perform your normal daily activities such as walking, working, and sleeping.
What to Expect
A trained technician will either set up the device at your home or provide clear instructions for wearing the monitor.
During the monitoring period:
You will wear the device for 24 to 48 hours
You can continue normal daily activities
Avoid bathing or swimming with the monitor
You may be asked to keep a diary of symptoms and activities
Preparation Instructions
Preparing for a Holter ECG test is straightforward.
Before the test:
Wear loose and comfortable clothing
Avoid applying lotions or oils on the chest area
Continue your regular medications unless instructed otherwise
Inform your doctor about any heart medications you are taking
Results Process
After the monitoring device is returned, the recorded data is downloaded and analyzed using specialized cardiac analysis software.
A cardiologist reviews the results to identify:
Heart rhythm patterns
Abnormal heartbeats
Correlation between symptoms and ECG recordings
