Making sense of a Holter electrocardiograph report

Abstract

Background: Holter monitoring has become available in more centres in sub-Saharan Africa in recent years, but the interpretation of Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) is poorly understood.

Material and method: We present a 71-year old man who presented with cardiac failure, had abnormal electrocardiogram and was sent for Holter monitoring. Our report aims to help physicians interpret a Holter ECG report.
