Holter Monitor

Holter, also known as a Holter monitor, is a portable medical device used to monitor and record the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time. It is typically worn by patients for 24 to 48 hours, allowing healthcare professionals to gather valuable data on the heart’s rhythm and detect any irregularities or abnormalities. The Holter monitor consists of small electrodes that are attached to the patient’s chest and connected to a recording device, which captures and stores the heart’s electrical signals. This non-invasive diagnostic tool has revolutionized cardiac monitoring, providing crucial insights into cardiovascular health and aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of various heart conditions.

Uses Of Holter Monitor :

1. Diagnosing Cardiac Arrhythmias:

– Holter monitoring is commonly used to diagnose and monitor cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or bradycardia.

– The continuous recording over a 24-hour period allows doctors to capture any irregularities in the heart’s rhythm that may occur during daily activities.

2. Assessing Heart Function:

– Holter monitoring helps assess the overall function of the heart by providing valuable data on heart rate variability, ST segment changes, and other parameters.

– This information aids in evaluating the effectiveness of medications or interventions aimed at improving heart function.

3. Evaluating Symptoms:

– Holter monitoring is often used when patients experience symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or fainting spells that may be related to an underlying cardiac condition.

– By wearing a Holter monitor during these episodes, doctors can correlate symptoms with any abnormal heart rhythms captured on the recording.

4. Monitoring Treatment Effectiveness:

– For patients with known arrhythmias or cardiac conditions, Holter monitoring can be used to assess the effectiveness of prescribed treatments.

– Regular follow-up recordings allow doctors to evaluate if medication adjustments or other interventions are successfully managing the patient’s condition.

5. Pre-Surgical Evaluation:

– Prior to certain cardiac procedures or surgeries, Holter monitoring may be performed to gather baseline data on a patient’s heart rhythm and identify any underlying arrhythmias that could impact surgical planning.

– This information helps ensure patient safety during procedures and assists in post-surgical recovery management.

Overall, Holter monitoring plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing various cardiac conditions by providing continuous and comprehensive data on a patient’s heart rhythm patterns.

MAIN FEATURES:

• 1. The recorder can real-time store ECG data for 24-hour.
• 2. Arrhythmia analysis basing on MCSSTM and TMCATM can greatly reduce doctor’s work.
• 3. With more than 10 templates(such as atrial premature beat, ventricular premature beat, long interval, atrial fibrillation, etc.) and many user-defined modules, which can almost distinguish any kind of pathologic waveforms.
• 4. Flexible analysis channel selection function, which ensures that any channels can be selected as the main analysis channel.
• 5. Flexible atrial fibrillation analysis, which ensures that physicians can use the whole or segmented AUTO/manual analysis, more accurate in atrial fibrillation analysis.
• 6. All pacemakers(such as AAI, VVI, DDD etc.) can be analyzed by the powerful pacemaker analysis function.
• 7. With many pacing analysis templates, such as “Dual chamber pacing�?, “Atrial pacing�?, “Ventricular pacing�?, “Ventricular Pseudofusion�? and “Ventricular asynchronous pacing�?, etc.
• 8. Single or full-lead ECG in any time bucket can be reviewed by the fast review analysis function.
• 9. With analysis functions for 5-minute, 1-hour and 24-hour heart rate variability.
• 10. One-key print, convenient and fast to print the reports.
• 11. Perfect case management function.
• 12. The risk of sleep breath pause can be predicted by the unique “Sleep breath pause syndrome”analysis function.
• 13. The death risk in patients with myocardial infarction can be predicted by the “HRT” analysis function.
• 14. “T-Wave alternation�? is an important index to predict the malignant arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death
