Most of our country ignores heart health unless they face some serious health issues. However, staying informed and proactive is essential when it comes to your heart health. This blog is for those who are unaware or getting to know about heart health monitoring for the first time. Apollo Home Care’s Holter Monitor (Web Cardio) offers a seamless way to track and understand your heart’s rhythm. Here is everything you need to know before your first experience with this innovative device.
What Is a Holter Monitor?
The Holter Monitor (Web Cardio) is a state-of-the-art, patch-based Ambulatory ECG (AECG) monitoring device. Unlike traditional bulky monitors, this second-generation biosensor is lightweight, wireless, and easy to use. This device adheres to global medical technology standards and allows you to monitor your heart’s activity without disrupting your daily life and activities.
Web Cardio or Holter Monitor provides clinically accurate results and a convenient solution for detecting arrhythmias and other heart irregularities. The monitor can identify six types of arrhythmias:
- Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
- Atrioventricular Block (AV Block)
- Sinus Pause (SP)
- Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
- Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC)
- Ventricular Tachycardia/Ventricular Fibrillation (VT/VF)
With the Holter Monitor, you can track your heart health continuously for up to 14 days (about 2 weeks). However, it also depends upon the device model.
How Holter Monitohe r Helps to Track Your Heart Health
There was a time when monitoring heart health was complicated and the procedure was long. However, not anymore. The Web Cardio device or the Holter Monitor leverages innovative technology to provide detailed insights into your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity.
Let us understand how it works:
- Patch Application: The device is applied to the left side of your chest.
- Mobile Connectivity: It synchronises with the Web Cardio Android app for real-time data transfer.
- Continuous Monitoring: The biosensor records two ECG channels and sends the data to a secure cloud system.
- Report Generation: Trained technicians analyze the ECG data and generate a detailed PDF report.
- Doctor Review: Your doctor reviews the results to provide diagnoses and consultation.
This streamlined process ensures that if there are any heart irregularities, those get detected promptly. This helps in timely medical intervention.
What to Expect During the Test?
The Holter Monitor test is non-invasive, convenient, and designed to fit seamlessly into your routine. However, there are a few things to be aware of before, during, and after the test:
Before the Test
- Preparation: The application area on your chest will be cleaned to ensure the patch adheres properly.
- Setup Assistance: Apollo Home Care’s technicians will guide you through setting up the device and pairing it with the app.
During the Test

- Event Logging: The device allows you to log specific symptoms or events, providing valuable context for your heart’s activity.
After the Test
- Report Delivery: Once the monitoring period is over and the biosensor’s data is analyzed, a detailed report will be sent to your doctor within 24 hours.
- Review and Consultation: Your doctor will review the findings and discuss the results with you.
Understanding Your Holter Monitor Results
The results from your Holter Monitor test provide a comprehensive overview of your heart’s electrical activity. Let us now see how to interpret them:
Key Components of the Report
- Heart Rate Variability: The device tracks changes in your heart rate throughout the monitoring period.
- Arrhythmia Detection: The device also identifies any irregular heart rhythms, such as, Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), or Ventricular Tachycardia (VT).
- P Wave Analysis: The Web Cardio’s advanced technology ensures better detection of the P wave, a critical indicator of atrial activity.
What Your Doctor Checks
Your doctor will analyze the report to identify some subtle yet crucial points. Once he understands the report, he will prescribe you a detailed analysis of it:
- If the device has recorded any pattern or trigger for irregular heartbeats.
- Is there any effectiveness of ongoing treatments? (If you are undergoing them.)
- The doctor might recommend some lifestyle changes or further testing.
These insights empower you and your healthcare provider to make informed decisions about your heart health.
