title: [ECG Holter monitoring in the detection of cardiac arrhythmias yesterday, today and tomorrow].
abstract: The paper summarizes contemporary knowledge and technical possibilities of the use of Holter systems of 24-hour and long-term ECG monitoring in the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias. It evaluates the development of different types of equipment and indications for their use. It summarizes the yield of different types and mentions detailed limitations for their use and deals with the economic evaluation of different methods.
