24 Hour ECG Test in Leicester

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.

No, the test is non-invasive and typically painless. You may feel slight discomfort when the electrodes are applied or removed.

You can go about your daily activities, but it's best to keep a diary of any symptoms or activities you engage in during the monitoring period.

There are minimal risks, but some individuals may experience skin irritation where the electrodes are placed.

Generally, no special preparation is needed, but you may be advised to avoid certain creams, lotions, or substances that could interfere with electrode adhesion.

Results are usually analyzed by a cardiologist and typically available within a few days to a week after the recording is returned.
