A Holter Monitor is a 24-hour ECG recorder that monitors your pet's normal daily activity in his or her home environment. This test is performed to look for intermittent rhythm disturbances that may be causing weakness, collapse (fainting), or be a risk for sudden death. This test may also be performed to monitor the treatment response to medications prescribed for irregular heart rhythms.
The Holter monitor is placed in a backpack-like wrap that is very comfortable for most dogs.
Event monitors are very similar to Holtor monitors. Event monitors can be worn for up to 30 days to determine if collapse or weakness episodes are due to an abnormal heart rhythm.
