How to read holter monitor results?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Talk to your Doctor: Holter Monitor used to look for abnormal heartbeats or patterns of heartbeats. They are often missed on basic ecg(EKG). The causes and types of findings are numerous. Care must be individualized to you!! Ask your Doctor. Everyone skips a few to several hundred heartbeats in 24 hours, but the pattern is very important. Go over your results with the person who ordered your test. Good Luck!

Holter monitor results normal, note said "Patient diary was submitted, symptoms noted, no patient events noted." Does that mean nothing was seen when these events were noted? Have had two holter's in 10 years & both normal. Should they feel at ease?
