ECG Holter Monitor

It can record your heart rhythm for 24hrs while you carry on your daily activities.

• Leads or wires connected to the electrodes/stickers will be placed on the skin of your chest.

• You will wear a small pouch around your waist that will hold the monitor.

• You are encouraged to continue your daily activities during the holter test.

• Take your medications as instructed by your cardiologist, note the name of medications that you take against the time.

• Document any symptoms (eg chest pain, shortness of breath) that you experience and also the time that they occur.

• Do not shower, bathe or engage in vigorous activites while you are wearing your monitor.

• A Holter test is painless and has no risks involved. However the stickers attached to your skin can cause mild skin irritation in some people.

Please note:

• Do not shower or bathe when wearing the machine.

• Do not come in contact with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems.

• Do not apply lotion or powder on your skin.

• If you have a hairy chest, the technologist may shave some hair off to attach the stickers firmly.
