Holter Test

Holter Test – Continuous Heart Monitoring with Expert Care by Dr. Mamtesh Gupta

When it comes to heart health, some symptoms may not appear during a standard ECG or physical exam. That’s where the Holter test comes in—a powerful diagnostic tool that records your heart’s activity over an extended period to detect irregularities that come and go.

Dr. Mamtesh Gupta, DM – Cardiology, is one of Meerut’s most trusted and accomplished cardiologists, offering state-of-the-art Holter monitoring to help diagnose and manage complex heart rhythm disorders and related conditions.

What is a Holter Test?

A Holter test, also known as Holter monitoring, is a portable and non-invasive test that records your heart’s electrical activity continuously over 24 to 48 hours, or even longer, depending on your symptoms. Unlike a routine ECG that only captures a few seconds of your heart's rhythm, the Holter monitor tracks the heart throughout your daily routine, offering a clearer picture of how it functions in real life.

Why is Holter Monitoring Important?

Certain heart conditions like arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), unexplained fainting, dizziness, or palpitations may not occur at the time of a brief ECG in a clinic. Holter monitoring increases the chances of capturing these intermittent episodes and provides more accurate data for diagnosis.

Dr. Mamtesh Gupta often recommends a Holter test for patients experiencing:

• Irregular or skipped heartbeats

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

• Sudden episodes of weakness or fatigue

• Chest pain not linked to exertion

• Unexplained fainting spells

• Monitoring response to medications or pacemakers

How Does the Test Work?

The Holter monitor is a small, lightweight, battery-operated device worn around the neck or clipped to the waist. Several electrodes are attached to the chest using adhesive pads, which are connected to the monitor via wires.

Once the device is in place:

• You go about your usual activities, including work, walking, and sleeping.

• A diary is provided to note the time of any symptoms (palpitations, dizziness, etc.).

• After the monitoring period, you return the device for analysis.

Dr. Mamtesh Gupta and her team then download and interpret the data to identify any abnormalities in heart rhythm or electrical activity that occurred during the monitoring period.
