title: [Long-term ECG in clinical practice].
abstract: Long-term ECG monitoring is one of the greatest advances in clinical cardiology over the past 15 years. The recording examination including Holter technology is described. The clinical value of long-term ECG monitoring is compared with routine ECG and exercise testing. A survey on normal population data is made. Major indications for long-term ECG monitoring are detection of occult arrhythmias, evaluation of subjective symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness or syncope, recognition of pacemaker dysfunction, identification of high-risk patients with coronary heart disease and both evaluation as well as monitoring of drug therapy.
