Since an EKG only lasts for a few minutes, it may not detect any heart abnormalities if they are not present at that time. The Holter monitor is worn for 24 hours and records the heart's activity throughout that time.
Suspected arrhythmias sometimes may be documented by using a small, portable ECG recorder, called a Holter monitor (or continuous ambulatory electrocardiographic monitor). This can record 24 hours (and sometimes more) of continuous electrocardiographic signals. While an ECG is sort of a 12-second snapshot of the heart's electrical activity, the Holter monitor is more like a movie. As with an ECG, electrodes are taped to the chest. The wires are connected to a portable, battery-operated recorder that can run for 24 to 48 hours.
