Holter monitors are small, battery-powered medical devices that record the activities of the heart such as rate and rhythm. The Holter monitor was first developed at the Holter research laboratory in Helena Montana by experimental physicists Norman J. Holter and Bill Glasscock, who initiated work on radio telemetry in 1949. In the early 1950s, inspired by a suggestion from cardiologist Paul Dudley White, efforts were shifted toward the development of a wearable cardiac monitoring device. The Holter monitor was first commercially released in 1962. Since their inception, these devices have been a cornerstone for diagnosing suspected arrhythmias in patients across age groups. Conventional Holter monitors allow continuous registration of three or more leads for 24–48 hours. Latest generation Holter monitors allow continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) registration from 14 days to 60 days. Such prolonged monitoring with Holter monitors will increase the diagnostic yield of devices, especially for rhythm disturbances, which are infrequent yet recurrent.
