24 Hour ECG Test in Leicester
24-Hour ECG Test at The Health Suite Leicester – Your Heart, Monitored with Care.
A 24-hour ECG Test, also known as a Holter monitor or ambulatory ECG, is a continuous test to record your heart’s rate and rhythm for 24 hours. You wear a device, about the size of a small camera, on your belt or waistband with electrodes that attach to your skin. This test is non-invasive and monitors the electrical activity of your heart as you go about your daily activities, including sleeping.
This test continuously monitors the heart’s electrical activity over 24 hours. It uses small electrodes placed on the chest, connected to a portable device worn by the patient. This helps find irregular heartbeats, like arrhythmias, which might not show up on a regular ECG because they happen only sometimes. The 24-hour ECG is great for checking heart conditions, seeing how well medicines work, or spotting problems during daily life. Patients usually carry on with their normal activities while wearing the device, giving doctors important information to better understand their heart health.
Key Benefits of 24-hour ECG Test
The 24-hour ECG test has many important advantages. It keeps track of the heart’s electrical signals all the time, giving doctors a chance to find unusual heartbeats or other problems that might not be seen in a regular ECG because they happen only sometimes. This longer monitoring helps make a more accurate diagnosis, especially when symptoms like dizziness, fast heartbeats, or chest pain are not clear. Also, it helps doctors see how well treatments or medicines for heart issues are working. The test is not painful, doesn’t hurt, and is fairly simple to do, with only a small impact on the person’s daily life. Overall, it’s a very useful way to find and handle heart problems, which helps people get better.
The Health Suite Leicester offers a 24-hour ECG test to assess heart health over an extended period. This non-invasive procedure involves attaching electrodes to the chest, connected to a portable recording device worn around the waist, allowing continuous monitoring of the heart’s electrical activity and rhythm throughout daily activities. The collected data aids in diagnosing intermittent symptoms such as palpitations or chest pain, providing valuable insights into conditions like arrhythmias. The Health Suite emphasises patient comfort and convenience, ensuring a seamless experience from appointment booking to test completion. Results are typically available within 24 working hours, facilitating prompt discussions with healthcare providers for timely decision-making.

Do you experience palpitations or a racing heartbeat?
A 24-hour ECG records your heart rhythm continuously, helping detect irregular heartbeats or palpitations that may not appear during a standard ECG.
Do you have episodes of dizziness or lightheadedness?
Intermittent dizziness may be linked to abnormal heart rhythms affecting blood flow. Continuous monitoring helps identify underlying cardiac causes.
Have you experienced fainting or near-fainting episodes?
Blackouts or syncope can be associated with rhythm disturbances. A 24-hour ECG helps capture these events and assess heart rhythm during symptoms.
Do you notice irregular or skipped heartbeats?
Feeling your heart “flutter” or skip beats may indicate arrhythmia. Holter monitoring records these irregularities over an extended period.
Do you have symptoms that come and go unpredictably?
Intermittent symptoms may not be detected during a brief ECG. A 24-hour monitor increases the chance of capturing abnormal heart activity.
Are you being monitored for an existing heart condition?
A 24-hour ECG can assess how well your heart rhythm is controlled and evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing treatment.
