Holter heart monitor

Ambulatory electrocardiography; Electrocardiography - ambulatory

There are no risks associated with the test. However, you should be sure not to let the monitor get wet.

Electrodes must be firmly attached to the chest so the machine gets an accurate recording of the heart's activity.

Avoid magnets, metal detectors, electric blankets, and high-voltage areas while wearing the device.
