Holter & ECG Monitoring

Capture the arrhythmias a resting ECG misses. Ambulatory Holter recording follows the heart across a full day of normal activity — for syncope work-ups, arrhythmia detection and treatment monitoring.

Why Holter monitoring

A clinic ECG is a 30-second snapshot. Intermittent arrhythmias — the ones behind collapse and syncope — often hide between visits. Holter recording watches continuously, at home, where they actually happen.

Catches what’s intermittent

Continuous 24-hour (or longer) recording captures paroxysmal arrhythmias a short in-clinic ECG can easily miss.

Real-world context

The patient wears the recorder during normal activity at home, correlating rhythm with real events like collapse or exercise.

Decision-grade data

Full-disclosure recordings support diagnosis, antiarrhythmic dosing decisions and monitoring of treatment response.

How it works

A simple fit-and-record workflow, analysed back at the clinic.

  • Fit the recorder. Attach electrodes and secure the compact recorder in a vest or wrap.
  • Send home. The owner keeps the patient in normal routine and logs any events.
  • Record continuously. The device captures the ECG across the full monitoring window.
  • Analyse. Download and review the full-disclosure recording with the analysis software.
  • Report & act. Summarise findings in the patient record and plan treatment.

Where clinics use it

Syncope & collapse

Investigate unexplained fainting or weakness by correlating rhythm with events.

Arrhythmia diagnosis

Detect and characterise intermittent arrhythmias not seen on resting ECG.

Breed screening

Screen breeds predisposed to cardiac disease.

Treatment monitoring

Assess response to antiarrhythmic therapy over a full day.

Pre-anaesthetic risk

Clarify rhythm concerns before high-risk procedures.

Referral cardiology

Provide full-disclosure data for cardiology work-ups.

Capabilities

Ambulatory Holter ECG recording and analysis (Spacelabs Holter systems).

Recording Continuous ambulatory ECG (24 h or extended, per device)
Channels Multi-channel full-disclosure recording
Analysis Software review, arrhythmia detection & reporting
Wear Compact recorder in vest / wrap for home use
Output Full-disclosure report for the record

Recording duration, channel count and software features depend on the selected Spacelabs system and are confirmed per manufacturer at time of order.

Holter vs. resting ECG

  Holter (ambulatory) Resting ECG
Window 24 h or longer Seconds to minutes
Intermittent arrhythmia Likely to capture Easily missed
Setting Home / normal activity Clinic, at rest
Best role Investigate events & monitor therapy Quick in-clinic check

Holter and resting ECG are complementary parts of a cardiac work-up.

Works with the NXVET cloud

Cardiac findings on the record.

  • Attach Holter reports and findings to the patient’s cardiac history in NXVET.
  • Track rhythm and treatment response across recordings over time.
  • Share full-disclosure reports with referral cardiologists from one record.
  • Pair with the patient monitor and diagnostics for connected cardiac care.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it record?
Typically 24 hours, with extended recording available depending on the device. The exact window is confirmed per system at time of order.
Why not just do an in-clinic ECG?
A resting ECG is a brief snapshot and can miss intermittent arrhythmias. Holter recording watches continuously during normal activity, where episodic events actually occur.
Does the patient stay in the clinic?
No — the compact recorder is worn in a vest or wrap and the patient goes home in normal routine while it records.
How are results reviewed?
The full-disclosure recording is downloaded and reviewed with analysis software for arrhythmia detection and reporting.
Can reports go into our records?
Yes — Holter reports and findings can be attached to the patient’s cardiac history in the NXVET cloud.
