    A Holter monitor is a small, wearable device that records a patient's heart rate over a 24 to 48 hour period during normal activities. The monitor has 7 to 10 cables called leads that are connected to electrodes placed on the chest and connected to a device the size of a mobile phone. The electrodes capture the heart's electrical activity. A Holter is used to detect arrhythmias and is indicated for studying arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, extrasystoles, and detecting blocked arteries. The patient cannot bathe, use their cell phone on their chest, apply creams or oils, and women should use wire-free bras during the monitoring period.

    HOLTER

    BY: KAREN DANIELA BAUTISTA ESQUIVIA

    What is a Holter?
    A Holter monitor is a small,
    wearable device that records your
    heart rate. It is used to detect or
    determine the risk of irregular
    heartbeats (arrhythmias) for a
    period of 24 hours to 48 hours
    during the patient's usual activity.

    How it is performed?
    The monitor has between 7 and 10 cables
    called "leads." The leads are connected to
    electrodes, which are placed on the chest,
    these are connected to a Holter the size of
    a mobile phone which records the
    electrical activity of the heart. The
    electrodes are very sensitive and can
    capture electrical impulses from the heart.

    When it is indicated to
    place a 24-hour Holter
    It is mainly used in the study of:

    Arrhythmias
    Myocardial ischemia and extrasystoles
    An ST segment heart rhythm analysis
    can also be performed to detect
    clogged heart arteries.

    Recommendations for
    the patient
    Can't bathe
    You cannot use your cell phone near
    your chest.
    You cannot apply cream, powder, or
    oils.
    In the case of women, use bras
    without wires
    It is not necessary to stop
    medications
