Holter Monitor & Event Recording

A Holter monitor and event recorder are small, battery-operated devices used to record the heart’s electrical activity over an extended period. These devices are commonly used for patients who experience irregular cardiac symptoms, such as palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath, that may not be detected during a standard ECG. At Revere Health, we provide Holter monitoring and event recording to help diagnose heart rhythm abnormalities and guide appropriate treatment.

How Holter Monitoring & Event Recording Work
Holter Monitor: A Holter monitor continuously records the heart’s electrical activity for 24 to 48 hours. Electrodes attached to the skin send data to a small portable device worn by the patient, providing a detailed record of the heart’s rhythm.
Event Recorder: An event recorder is similar but is used over a longer period, typically weeks or months. It records only when the patient experiences symptoms, triggered by the patient or automatically when the device detects abnormal rhythms.

Conditions Diagnosed with Holter & Event Recording
Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats, such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.
Palpitations: Sensation of rapid or irregular heartbeats that may require further investigation.
Unexplained Fainting (Syncope): These devices help determine if fainting is related to an abnormal heart rhythm.
Dizziness and Shortness of Breath: Monitoring helps identify if these symptoms are caused by cardiac irregularities.

Benefits of Holter Monitoring & Event Recording
Continuous Monitoring: The Holter monitor provides continuous data, capturing heart activity during normal daily activities.
Symptom Tracking: Event recorders allow patients to document symptoms and correlate them with heart activity, helping to pinpoint irregularities.
Non-Invasive: Both devices are small, portable, and non-invasive, allowing patients to carry on with their usual routines while being monitored.
