Best Doctors for Holter Test Treatment in Visakhapatnam

A holter test or holter monitor is a small portable device attached around the chest and it monitors and records the heart's electrical activity up to 48 hours. This test helps doctors detect irregular rhythms of the heart known as arrhythmias that may not show with a standard electrocardiogram (ECG) performed in a clinic. For small electrodes attached to the chest of the patient in this test they are attached to a recording device that may be worn around the neck or waist. For most patients, they are advised to carry out their daily routine activities and keep a diary account of the symptoms that they go through throughout the day, which would correspond with any anomaly that may have recorded during the monitoring period. Once the observation has been carried out the data gathered is then verified by a cardiologistg who may determine abnormal heartbeats or other similarly related conditions of the patient. It is an important part of heart condition diagnosis and indeed of treatment when symptoms occur erratically and therefore cannot be captured on routine tests.
