24-hour Holter Monitoring (with analysis)

24-hour Holter Monitoring is a diagnostic test that allows detailed evaluation of heart activity over a full day. This method is especially useful when symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or rapid heartbeat occur frequently and repeatedly.

During the test, electrodes are attached to the patient’s chest and connected to a small monitoring device. The patient wears this device continuously for 24 hours while carrying out their usual daily activities, including those that may have previously caused discomfort. The patient is also given a diary to record activities, symptoms, and their timing. The device records heart activity throughout the 24-hour period.

On the following day, at the scheduled time, the patient returns to the clinic to have the device removed. The recorded data is then analyzed by a physician to assess for possible heart rhythm disturbances. Test results are typically available within one week.

24-hour Holter monitoring helps physicians to:

• Detect transient cardiac arrhythmias;
• Assess changes in heart activity over a 24-hour period;
• Evaluate heart rhythm during episodes when symptoms occur.

This examination is suitable for both young patients and individuals with chronic heart conditions, as well as athletes.

Preparation: No special preparation is required.
