What are Holter and MCOT Monitors?

Holter monitors and Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT) devices are portable tools used to continuously track your heart’s electrical activity over time. These monitors are worn at home and capture real-time data to detect irregular heart rhythms.

At Potomac Cardiovascular Consultants, we offer advanced ambulatory heart monitoring technology to detect arrhythmias that standard EKGs may miss.

Why They Matter

These tests help identify transient or intermittent heart rhythm issues, including:

  • Atrial fibrillation or flutter
  • Bradycardia (slow heartbeat)
  • Tachycardia (fast heartbeat)
  • Palpitations or skipped beats
  • Unexplained dizziness or fainting

Our cardiology team reviews your monitor data to develop a precise and personalized treatment plan.


What to Expect with Monitoring

The monitor is worn for 24 to 72 hours (Holter) or up to 30 days (MCOT), depending on your symptoms. It's discreet, lightweight, and allows for normal daily activities while collecting vital heart data.

We provide clear instructions and support throughout the monitoring process to ensure accurate results.
