Holter Ecg

Holter ECG monitoring is a non-invasive procedure that involves wearing a portable device called a Holter monitor. This device continuously records your heart’s electrical activity, typically over 24 to 48 hours while you go about your daily activities, including sleep. It provides a more comprehensive assessment of your heart rhythm compared to a standard ECG performed in a clinic setting.
