How common is it for someone to need a cardiac event monitor?

Holter monitor: Arrhythmias that occur less frequently are better detected with a 30 day ambulatory event monitor. There are different types of longer duration monitors that can be used depending on the arrhythmia in question.

Depends: This is not an uncommon test ordered. It is used to see if any cardiac arrhythmia is associated with symptoms you are having.
