What Is a Holter Monitor?

Basic Information

1. Qualitative and quantitative diagnosis of arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia.
2. To determine the cause and nature of paroxysmal syncope, dizziness and palpitations.
3. Evaluate the prognosis of patients with heart disease.
4. Assess the ability of patients with heart disease to live daily.
5. Evaluation of anti-arrhythmic and anti-cardiac ischemic drugs.
6. Pacemaker function evaluation.

1. The patient took a seated position, and wiped the local skin surface of the electrode placement area with 75% ethanol cotton balls, and lightly rubbed the skin surface with a small sand sheet to clean the skin and reduce skin resistance.
2. Select high-quality special electrodes for dynamic electrocardiogram, and fasten the wires and electrodes.
3. Stick the electrode firmly on the corresponding position, preferably on the sternum and ribs of the selected part to reduce the impact of respiratory movement and myoelectric interference, and fix it with adhesive tape.
4. Insert the flash card into the recording box, install the battery, install the recording box into the special case, carry it on the subject, and adjust the length of the strap.
5. Ask the patient to record the activity log and subjective symptoms in detail.
6.24 hours later, remove the recording box in sequence from the patient and remove the flash card; wipe the conductive paste from the subject.

1. The skin part in contact with the ambulatory electrocardiograph should be free of local infections and kept hygienic.
2. Avoid X-ray, CT, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, EEG, electromyography and other tests that affect the monitoring results of dynamic electrocardiogram. Keep away from strong power sources and magnetic fields.
3. During the inspection, prevent rain, water and other liquids from entering the recorder, so as not to affect the inspection results.
4. Do not take a bath during the dynamic electrocardiogram. After wearing the recorder, you should do the same amount of daily living as before wearing, but try to avoid strenuous exercise and strenuous activities of the upper limbs to reduce various myoelectric disturbances and artifacts.
5. Do not pull the recording electrode wire when the patient is wearing, otherwise a lot of interference data will appear, affecting the data output.
6.? Detailed registration of physical discomfort and exercise time within 24 hours to provide a reliable basis for doctors' treatment.
