What is a Holter Test?

A Holter test is a continuous, 24-hour electrocardiogram (ECG) used to monitor your heart’s electrical activity over time. Unlike a standard ECG that captures your heart's rhythm in a few seconds, a Holter monitor provides a full day’s snapshot, helping your doctor detect irregular heartbeats, missed beats, or other heart-related issues that may not appear during a brief exam.

Let’s Walk Through Your Day

If your doctor has recommended a 24-hour Holter test, you might be wondering what it involves—especially if this is your first time. The great news? With today’s advanced Holter patch technology, cardiac monitoring is easier, more comfortable, and less intrusive than ever. Paired with in-home setup services, you don’t even need to step outside your front door to get your heart health ECG Holter test done.

So, what does a day with a 24-hour Holter monitor really look like? Let’s take a walk through it—step by step.

Step 1: A Friendly Home Visit
A trained technician comes to your home at a time that suits you. They’ll bring everything needed to get your wireless ECG machine 24hr Holter up and running.
Here’s how it works:
The technician will explain the whole process so you know exactly what to expect.

They’ll gently clean and prep your skin, then apply a small, discreet Holter monitor patch—about the size of a large bandage—usually on your chest.

No wires. No bulky monitor. Just a sleek, wearable cardiac monitor that sticks comfortably to your skin.

Step 2: Go About Your Day—Almost Like Nothing’s There
One of the best parts about a wireless Holter monitor? It’s designed to blend into your day without getting in the way.

You can:

• Go to work

• Run errands

• Watch Netflix on the couch

• Play with the dog

You should:

• Skip intense workouts or heavy sweating, as it might loosen the adhesive.

The device continuously records your heart rate and electrical activity, and if you feel anything unusual—like palpitations, dizziness, or chest discomfort—just press the built-in event marker on the patch. We also give you a simple activity log to jot down what you were doing during those moments. This helps your doctor connect your symptoms to the Holter test data.

Step 3: 24 Hours Later—You’re Done!

Once the 24 hours are up, removing the Holter monitor patch is as easy as peeling off a sticker. The technician will come back to your home to gently remove the 24-hour Holter device and collect the recorded ECG data.

There’s no pain, no mess, and no downtime. The data from the cardiac monitor is then analyzed by your doctor to check how your heart behaved throughout the day—especially during any symptoms you logged.

Step 4: Reviewing the Results
Your heart’s electrical activity and heart rate during those 24 hours is securely stored in the patch. Once it’s removed, your doctor will analyze the Holter test data to check for:

• Irregular rhythms

• Missed beats

• Other potential concerns

This information gives your doctor a clear picture of how your heart behaves during daily life.
Remember: catching issues early gives you the best chance to take control of your heart health before problems develop.
