[Value and limitations of long-term continuous electrocardiographic recording (Holter)].
Long-time recording of ECG (Holter) is a safe method for assessment of objective complaints patients verbalize often imprecisely. The main value of the method lies in the exact correlation of stated symptoms with recorded ECG-anomalies or the exclusion of such a correlation. Furthermore Holter-analysis yields significant prognostic and therapeutic information in certain types of cardiac disease. Its use knows however a certain number of technical and clinical limitations that have to be known for an efficient application in daily practise.
