Your doctor asked you to have a holter monitor test at Advocate Christ Medical Center to determine the presence and severity of disturbance in your heart rhythm. It can detect rhythm changes, abnormal or irregular beats, skipped beats, fast and slow heart function and pacemaker function. The monitor can correlate heart rhythm disturbances with symptoms you may be having, such as dizziness, palpitations or fainting spells.
