A Holter monitor is a portable device used to continuously record the electrical activity of the heart over 24 to 48 hours, capturing data during daily activities.

A Holter monitor helps detect and diagnose irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that may not be captured during a standard ECG.

The monitor is attached to the patient with electrodes placed on the chest. It records heartbeats continuously while the patient carries out normal activities.
