During a heart Holter monitor study, the patient wears a monitor
that records electrical activity of their heart (similarly to the
recording of an electrocardiogram). This usually occurs for 24
hours, while at the same time the patient also records a diary of
their activity. Health care providers then analyze the recording,
tabulate a report of the heartâs activity, and
correlate irregular heart activity with the entries of the
patientâs diary.
