Clinical task
Ambulatory ECG recording (the Holter method) was proposed for continuous study of the heart rhythm in freely moving patients and remains the standard for arrhythmia detection [1].
Analysis of heart rate variability provides quantitative markers of autonomic regulation [2].
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Leads | 3-channel |
| Sampling rate | 200–1000 Hz |
| Recording time | 24–72 h |
| Analysis | HRV, arrhythmia episodes |
Equipment
Long-term monitoring improves detection of atrial fibrillation after cryptogenic stroke and influences secondary prevention [3]; the study used our ECG recorders (cardiographs).
