An Ambulatory electrocardiography device or Holter Monitor device is a small, mobile healthcare device that monitors heart rhythms while a person is engaged in normal activities. The ambulatory electrocardiography (EKG) consists of 3 to 7 electrodes that are attached to the surface of the person’s skin. The electrodes are wired to a small Holter monitor that can fit in a shirt pocket. Some Holter monitors can be worn around a person’s waist or neck. Usually, a Holter monitor is powered by batteries. The Holter monitor is named for Dr. Norman J. Holter who invented telemetric cardiac monitoring in 1949
