title: [Holter monitoring in the prognosis of sudden cardiac death--new experiences and possibilities].
abstract: Sudden cardiac death is a great problem of nowadays. Patients suffer from coronary artery disease, myocarditis, dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congenital and acquired heart diseases have a higher risk of sudden cardiac death. Holter monitoring allows to estimate the sudden cardiac death risk by risk factors analysis. We estimate arrhythmias, presence of ischaemia, QT interval, heart rate variability. Moreover, the event Holter is a useful method of searching the cause of syndromes which do not appear every single day.
