How Does a Holter Monitor Work?

The Holter monitor is a small device. Size-wise it is a device that is slightly larger than a deck of playing cards. There are several leads, or several wires, that are attached to the monitor. The leads connect to electrodes.

These electrodes are placed with a glue-like gel on the skin of your chest. The metal electrodes conduct your heart’s activity through the wires and the activities of your heart are recorded into the Holter monitor.

You wear a small pouch around your neck. This pouch itself holds the monitor. It’s important that during the testing period, you keep the monitor close to your body to make sure the readings are accurate. You will be given instructions by your doctor or technician on how to reattach electrodes if they become loose or in case the electrodes fall off during the testing period.
