Melbourne Paediatric Cardiology

Holter Monitoring allows recording of every heart beat over a specified time period to look for abnormalities of the heart's electrical system (arrhythmias). Whilst the ECG gives a brief snapshot of heart rhythm and conduction, the Holter Monitor extends that period of assessment. 

​

Holter Monitors are used to assess arrhythmias (which may present as palpitations), heart rate variability and treatment with certain medications. They can also be useful in long term post-operative surveillance for arrhythmia development.
