Holter Monitoring in assessing Cardiac Arrhythmias in Symptomatic Patients: A Prospective Observational Study

BACKGROUND The 24hr ECG Holter monitoring system is helpful in assessing cardiac arrhythmias patients presenting with palpitation, dizziness, presyncope and syncope, which are not detected by standard office electrocardiogram.
 METHODS This was a single center prospective observational study conducted to assess the prevalence of among 78 consisting 41 males 37 females referred for 24 hr BPKIHS, Dharan, Nepal, between October 2021 December 2021.
 RESULTS most common indication these unexplained palpitation. Ventricular ectopics were detected, followed supraventricular ectopics, benign. Among 18 significant bradyarrhythmia, 3 had sinus bradycardia pause, AF 2 high grade/complete AV block.
 CONCLUSIONS showed that benign potentially fatal ventricular tachyarrythmias relatively low our population.
