ECG Event & Holter Recorders
Numed’s range of portable ECG recorders and 24-hour ECG monitors provides continuous ECG monitoring for patients during their normal daily activities. Designed for use in both primary and secondary care, our ambulatory ECG monitoring systems deliver accurate cardiac recordings whilst remaining comfortable and discreet for the wearer.
Our wearable ECG monitors can be worn around the neck, attached to a belt, carried in a pocket or placed in a pouch, allowing patients to move freely while continuous ECG data is collected.
The range includes Holter monitors and ECG event recorders that provide 24-hour ECG monitoring and extended cardiac assessment to help clinicians investigate arrhythmias and other cardiac conditions.
FAQs
When are holter monitors used?
If a patient has been having symptoms such as chest palpitations, shortness of breath or a racing heart, their heart activity is often monitored over a 24-hour period, whilst they continue with their day-to-day activities. ECG holter monitors are primarily used to perform this 24-hour ambulatory ECG procedure.
What are the advantages of holter monitors?
Holter heart monitors allow a patient to continue with their day-to-day activities whilst their heart is monitored.
These 24-hour ECG monitors are safe and non-invasive for the patient. Designed for easy usage, they can be placed in a pouch, to go around a neck, in a pocket or attached to a belt.
What is a normal heart rate on a holter ECG report?
A normal adult heart rate is between 60 & 100 beats per minute.
What’s the difference between holter monitors and event monitors?
Holter monitors record continuously, often monitoring over a 24-48 hour period whilst the patient continues with their everyday life. However, an event monitor does not continually monitor the patient’s heart. Instead, it just automatically starts recording when it is activated, for example when an abnormal heart rhythm is detected. They are often worn for at least a month.
