At KidsHeart Medical Center, we use Holter Monitors and 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) to detect heart rhythm disturbances and blood pressure variations that may not be captured during a routine clinic visit.

These compact, wearable devices offer a detailed view of your cardiovascular health in real-world settings, while you go about your daily routine.
We provide these services across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain, as part of our broader Adult Cardiology Services.

Some Heart Issues Only Show Up When You're Living Your Life

A single ECG or blood pressure reading in the clinic captures just one moment. Holter monitors and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure cuffs track your heart rhythm and blood pressure over an entire day and night — catching what a snapshot can’t.

What Is a Holter Monitor?

A Holter monitor is a small, lightweight device you wear for 24 to 72 hours that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity. It’s particularly effective at detecting irregular rhythms that come and go — like palpitations, skipped beats, or unexplained dizziness — that wouldn’t be caught in a clinic visit.

Do You Have 'White Coat' Blood Pressure?

Some people’s blood pressure is elevated at the clinic but normal at home — a pattern called white coat hypertension. Others have the opposite: normal readings in clinic but high blood pressure outside it. A 24-hour ambulatory monitor tells us what your blood pressure is really doing throughout the day.

Wear It During Your Normal Day, It Does the Work for You

Both the Holter monitor and the ambulatory BP cuff are worn during your regular daily activities. You keep a simple diary of what you’re doing and how you feel, which helps us match the data to your symptoms and build a clearer diagnosis.

What is a Holter Monitor?

A Holter Monitor is a portable device that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity (ECG) over 24 to 72 hours.
It’s used to:

  • Diagnose intermittent arrhythmias (e.g., skipped beats, palpitations)
  • Evaluate causes of dizziness, fainting, or fatigue
  • Monitor treatment response or medication effects
  • Detect silent rhythm changes during sleep or activity
  • Support long-term management in patients with implanted devices

This test is especially useful if your symptoms are brief and unpredictable.

What is 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)?

ABPM is a test that records your blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period using a wearable cuff and monitor.
It helps identify:

  • White coat hypertension — high BP only in clinical settings
  • Masked hypertension — normal in clinic but elevated outside
  • Night-time (nocturnal) hypertension
  • Effectiveness of current blood pressure medications
  • Risk of stroke, heart failure, or kidney disease due to blood pressure trends

ABPM gives a complete picture of how your blood pressure behaves during a typical day and night.

What to Expect During the Test

For Holter Monitoring:

  • Electrodes are placed on your chest and connected to a small monitor worn around your waist or neck
  • You’ll wear the device for 24 to 72 hours
  • You will keep a diary noting any symptoms, activities, or discomfort
  • Showering or swimming should be avoided while the device is on
  • After monitoring, the data is analyzed by our cardiology team

For ABPM:

  • A cuff is placed on your upper arm and attached to a small device worn on a strap or belt
  • It inflates automatically every 15–30 minutes throughout the day and night
  • You’ll be asked to maintain normal daily activities
  • After 24 hours, the device is returned for data download and interpretation
