At-home Holter monitoring
Heart monitoring with a heart at home is an effective diagnostic method that allows you to conduct a continuous cardiac examination for 24-48 hours in a familiar environment for the patient. This method is especially relevant for people who have difficulty visiting medical institutions and those whose symptoms appear irregularly and require long-term monitoring.

Indications for cardiac holter at home
- Patients with limited mobility or chronic medical conditions: People suffering from serious medical conditions, including chronic heart failure, cardiomyopathies, or severe neurological disorders.
- Patients with recurrent cardiac abnormalities: For example, those who experience attacks of arrhythmia, dizziness, or fainting that are difficult to diagnose in the setting of a short clinic visit.
- Post-operative patients: Those undergoing cardiac surgery need continuous heart rhythm monitoring.
- Patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease, including those who have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart problems.
Importantly! A referral from a doctor for Holter monitoring at home is mandatory. This procedure provides accurate and continuous monitoring of the patient’s heart rhythm under normal living conditions, significantly improving the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment planning.
Preparing for a Heart Holter Procedure at Home
Preparing for home Holter heart monitoring includes the following important steps:
- Discussion of current health and medications: It is important to inform the doctor of all your medical problems, symptoms, and medications.
- Lack of creams and lotions on the breast skin: Applying creams or lotions to the breast area may prevent the monitor electrodes from being securely attached.
- Choice of comfortable clothing: It is recommended to wear loose clothing that will allow easy installation of the monitor and will not restrict movement during the entire monitoring period.
- Scheduling routine activities: Patients are generally advised to lead normal lives while wearing a halter. However, activities requiring removing the device (e.g., showering) should be planned.
- Recording activity and symptoms: The patient may be asked to keep a diary in which they will need to note their activities and any symptoms, such as chest pain or palpitations.
Importantly! An EasyMed specialist will provide detailed instructions and information on preparing for your Holter procedure at home. If you have any further questions or require special accommodations, it is necessary to discuss this in advance. Adequate preparation ensures the accuracy of the monitoring results and the patient’s comfort during the procedure.
Diagnostic Options for Heart Holter at Home
- Determination of arrhythmias: Holter effectively detects various arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, and bradycardia, especially those that occur intermittently and may be missed during a short-term ECG.
- Diagnosis of coronary artery disease: Holter can detect episodes of cardiac muscle ischemia even if they are not accompanied by symptoms, which is important for diagnosing angina pectoris and preventing myocardial infarction.
- Assessment of symptoms such as dizziness and fainting: Helps establish a link between heart disorders and symptoms such as dizziness or syncope.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of treatment: This allows you to assess how effectively the treatment affects your heart rate and overall heart health.
- Detection of asymptomatic arrhythmia episodes: Holter can identify heart rhythm problems that do not cause noticeable symptoms in the patient.
Importantly! Holter monitoring at home has the same diagnostic value as stationary monitoring while providing convenience and comfort in a home environment. This is especially important for patients with limited mobility or those needing long-term cardiac activity monitoring.
Contraindications to the procedure
- Skin conditions in the chest area: The presence of severe dermatological conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or open wounds, can interfere with the secure attachment of the Holter electrodes.
- Acute infectious diseases: Performing the procedure in patients with acute infectious conditions may pose a risk to the patient and the medical staff.
- Severe conditions requiring inpatient follow-up: For example, serious cardiac conditions requiring ongoing hospital monitoring.
- Intolerance or allergic reactions to electrode components: In rare cases, patients may have allergic reactions to the materials used in Holter electrodes.
Importantly! The decision to perform home Holter monitoring should be based on a thorough assessment of the patient’s medical condition. An EasyMed specialist will provide all the necessary information and notify you of any restrictions before the procedure. It is always recommended to consult with the attending physician about the advisability and safety of monitoring at home.
