Historical stages of development of Holter monitoring
Abstract
The main historical and technical stages of development of Holter monitoring ECG (HM) from the founder of a method Norman Holter, are presented in article up to now. The contribution of other researchers to development of a technique is noted (Bruce Del Mar, Harold Kennedy and others). Both the first main technical solutions of a method, and the modern opportunities of HM including augmentation of duration of record ECG, possibility of processing of a rhythm of heart not only with the analysis of an ECG and heart rate variability but all modern methods of an electrocardiology are reflected: Heart rate turbulence, microvolt alternation of the T wave, QT dynamicity, DC/AC analysis and others. The analysis of technological prospects of development of a method is carried out. The fact that all new technology solutions can be demanded in clinic only on the basis of their adequate clinical and physiological interpreting is essentially important.
