Holter Monitor/Event Monitor
oth monitors are an EKG device that is worn either for 72 hours (holter monitor) or 30 days (event monitor) and record your heart rhythm for any abnormalities. Abnormal heart rhythms may cause symptoms such as palpations, “racing heart”, dizziness, lightheadness, chest pain or loss of consciousness (called syncope). Choice of monitor depends on the frequency and /or duration of your symptoms.
