Durante un estudio de monitoreo Holter, el paciente lleva puesto un monitor que registra la actividad eléctrica de su corazón (en forma similar al registro de un electrocardiograma). Esto generalmente ocurre durante un período de 24 horas, mientras al mismo tiempo el paciente también lleva un diario de su actividad. Luego, los médicos analizan los registros, tabulan la información de la actividad cardíaca y correlacionan la actividad cardíaca irregular con la información del diario del paciente.
