Many people experience
irregular heartbeats, also
called arrhythmias, from time to time. The importance
of these occurrences depends upon several factors,
such as frequency, patterns, duration, and symptoms
produced. While you may experience symptoms at
home, an arrhythmia might not occur during your office
visit, so your physician will equip you with a Holter
Monitor.
A Holter Monitor is a small device worn by you that
records the electrical signals transmitted by your heart
over a 24 hour period. During that time, you will also
keep a brief diary so your physician can examine your
activities and symptoms in relation to your heart
rhythms. |
