General Information About the Test
Test Process and Preparation
A rhythm Holter device records the heart's electrical map (ECG) through cables attached to the chest. A blood pressure Holter automatically measures blood pressure at set intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes during the day, every 60 minutes at night) with the help of a cuff attached to the arm.
Because the devices are electronic recorders, they must not come into contact with water. Therefore, the patient is forbidden to take a shower or swim as long as the device is worn.
On the contrary, your doctor wants to see how your heart reacts during a normal day. You can go to work, take a walk, and continue your normal life while protecting the device. Taking note of the times you have complaints makes the doctor's evaluation easier.
