A Holter monitor is a small device that records your heart’s rhythm over 24 hours. Unlike a standard ECG, which is just a snapshot, it tracks your heart activity while you go about your normal day and night.
♥️ Why it’s used:
•To investigate irregular heartbeats or palpitations
•To check if dizziness or fainting could be heart-related
•To monitor how well treatments are working
•To monitor what your heart is doing when you have various symptoms
We use a Holter monitor that is modern, tiny, discreet and easy to wear under your clothes.. a big step up from the older bulky monitors with cords!
The best part? You don’t need to visit a cardiology clinic or external pathology service. Our nurses can fit the monitor for you on-site at Next Practice Prahran.
