Holter Monitor & Event Monitoring

Holter and event monitors are small, portable devices that can record your heart activity for a longer time than an EKG. You can wear one while you go about your normal daily activities.

Some people have heart rhythm problems that occur only during certain activities, such as sleeping or physical exertion. Using a Holter or event monitor increases the chance of recording these problems.

Although similar, Holter and event monitors aren’t the same. A Holter monitor records your heart’s electrical activity the entire time you’re wearing it. An event monitor records your heart’s electrical activity only at certain times while you’re wearing it.
