After your doctor has looked at the results of the Holter monitor recorder, he or she will talk to you about your results. The information from the Holter monitor can tell your doctor if you have a heart condition and if heart medicines you currently take are or aren't working.

If you didn't have any irregular heart rhythms while you wore the monitor, your doctor may not be able to diagnose your condition. Your doctor may recommend a wireless Holter monitor or an event recorder, both of which can be worn longer than a standard Holter monitor. Event recorders are similar to Holter monitors and generally require you to push a button when you feel symptoms. There are several different types of event recorders.
