An ECG records the heart’s electrical activity. A short resting trace and a longer ambulatory recording can help answer different questions about rhythm, especially when symptoms come and go.

In detail
A resting ECG gives a brief view of rate, rhythm and electrical conduction. A Holter records during ordinary activities over an agreed period. In HLC care, this can help connect palpitations or other intermittent symptoms with a recorded rhythm, or support a clinician’s cardiovascular assessment.
For a resting ECG, small electrodes are attached to the skin while you lie still. The electrodes detect signals; they do not send electricity into the heart. For ambulatory recording, the team explains how to wear the device, care for the electrodes and note symptoms and activities. Water and exercise instructions depend on the device.
The clinician reviews the trace and, for longer recordings, the rhythm summary and any symptom-related events. A normal short recording cannot exclude every intermittent rhythm problem. The report may therefore lead to reassurance, additional monitoring or a cardiology assessment, depending on the question and findings.

| Measure | Illustrative value | What it would indicate |
|---|---|---|
| Recording quality | Duration • usable signal | The reviewer checks whether the recording can answer the original question. |
| Rhythm summary | Rate • rhythm • recorded events | Automatic device labels are reviewed clinically. |
| Symptom diary | Time of symptom ↔ rhythm trace | Timing helps determine whether an event coincided with your symptoms. |
