Electrodes are placed over bones to minimize artifacts from muscular activity. When used to study the heart, much like standard electrocardiography, the Holter monitor records electrical signals from the heart via a series of electrodes attached to the chest. The Holter monitor was released for commercial production in 1962. Inspired by a suggestion from cardiologist Paul Dudley White in the early 1950s, they redirected their efforts toward development of a wearable cardiac monitoring device. Holter and Bill Glasscock, who started work on radio telemetry in 1949. The Holter monitor was developed at the Holter Research Laboratory in Helena, Montana, by experimental physicists Norman J. For patients having more transient symptoms, a cardiac event monitor which can be worn for a month or more can be used. Its extended recording period is sometimes useful for observing occasional cardiac arrhythmias which would be difficult to identify in a shorter period. The Holter's most common use is for monitoring ECG heart activity (electrocardiography or ECG).
48 HOUR HEART MONITOR PORTABLE
In medicine, a Holter monitor (often simply Holter) is a type of ambulatory electrocardiography device, a portable device for cardiac monitoring (the monitoring of the electrical activity of the cardiovascular system) for at least 24 hours.
