Abstract

INTRODUCTION

• Holter monitors are often used for evaluation of palpitations, syncope, heart rate, and detection of arrhythmias
• The duration of a typical Holter recording is either 24 or 48 hours
• Little research has been targeted at determining the ideal duration of monitoring
• We examined the yield of 24 versus 48 hours of Holter monitoring
