What Is Heart Rhythm Monitoring?

Heart rhythm monitoring is a diagnostic method used to record your heart’s electrical activity over time. It helps identify abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), such as atrial fibrillation or bradycardia, which may not be detected during a single ECG.

We offer a range of monitoring options, including:

Long-term Monitoring Devices (Patch monitors or implantables)
24–72 Hour Holter Monitors
Event Recorders (Patient-activated devices)

When Is Heart Rhythm Monitoring Needed?

You may be referred for heart rhythm monitoring if you experience:

Palpitations or a racing heart
Irregular or skipped heartbeats
Unexplained dizziness or fainting
Fatigue or shortness of breath
History of stroke or atrial fibrillation

Early detection of arrhythmias is vital in preventing complications like stroke or heart failure.
