Holter Test

The Holter test is a non-invasive, portable device-based diagnostic tool that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity over 24 to 72 hours. It is especially useful in detecting irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), palpitations, or unexplained episodes of dizziness and fatigue that may not appear during a standard ECG.

Dr. Hariom Tyagi, a renowned cardiologist, offers expert Holter monitoring services to ensure a thorough evaluation of your heart’s function in real-life conditions.

What is a Holter Test?

A Holter monitor is a small, battery-operated device that records your heart’s rhythm over a period of time, usually 24 or 48 hours, while you go about your normal daily activities. It’s painless, safe, and provides valuable insight into intermittent symptoms that a regular ECG might miss.

Why Might You Need a Holter Test?

Dr. Tyagi may recommend a Holter test if you experience:

• Unexplained fainting or dizziness
• Palpitations or skipped heartbeats
• Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias)
• Fatigue or shortness of breath
• Evaluation of pacemaker or medication effectiveness
• Monitoring after a heart procedure or surgery

How It Works

• Electrodes are attached to your chest and connected to a portable Holter monitor
• The device records your heart activity continuously for the prescribed period
• You are asked to maintain a diary of your symptoms and activitie
• After the test, Dr. Tyagi carefully analyzes the data to identify any abnormal patterns or events
