Private Holter Monitor in Guildford (24-hour ECG)
Cardiologist-reported Holter monitoring for palpitations and irregular heartbeat
24 hour Holter monitoring - £391
48 hour Holter monitoring - £660
72 hour Holter monitoring - £895
If you’re experiencing palpitations, a fluttering sensation, skipped beats or intermittent episodes of rapid heart rate, you may benefit from a private Holter monitor.
A Holter monitor is one of the best ways to assess rhythm symptoms because it records your heartbeat continuously—often capturing problems that don’t show up on a single ECG.
At VR Private Clinics, we provide Holter monitoring through our structured cardiology pathways, with investigations and reporting delivered in collaboration with One Heart Clinic, our cardiology diagnostics partner.
We support patients across:
Guildford, Godalming, Woking, Farnham, Haslemere, Cobham, Weybridge, Esher, Leatherhead and Kingston upon Thames.
What is a Holter monitor?
A Holter monitor is a portable device worn for:
-
24 hours
-
48 hours
-
72 hours
-
7 days (in selected cases)
It continuously records your heart rhythm, helping identify:
-
ectopic beats
-
supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
-
atrial fibrillation (AF)
-
pauses or conduction abnormalities
-
rhythm disturbances linked to symptoms
Common reasons to book a private Holter monitor in Guildford
Patients typically book Holter monitoring for:
Palpitations
Fluttering, pounding, skipped beats, or “thumping” in the chest.
Smartwatch irregular rhythm alerts
Apple Watch / Fitbit / other wearable devices often trigger concern. Holter monitoring provides medical-grade confirmation.
Dizziness or near fainting
Especially if symptoms occur intermittently and no cause is found on routine examination.
Symptoms that come and go
If you feel fine in clinic but symptoms happen later, Holter monitoring increases diagnostic accuracy.
Which Holter duration do I need?
This depends on symptom frequency:
-
Daily symptoms: 24-hour Holter often sufficient
-
Weekly/intermittent symptoms: longer monitoring (e.g. 7-day) improves detection
-
Rare symptoms: your GP may advise alternative strategies
This is why many patients benefit from booking via a pathway that includes GP assessment.
Holter vs ECG – what’s the difference?
ECG
A snapshot at one point in time. Helpful, but can miss intermittent problems.
Holter
Records continuously over 24 hours to 7 days. Much better for intermittent symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Holter monitor safe?
Yes. It is a non-invasive test and widely used.
Can I work normally while wearing it?
In most cases, yes. You can carry out day-to-day activity. We’ll advise on any limitations.
Can it detect atrial fibrillation (AF)?
Yes — Holter monitoring is one of the key tests used for AF detection.
If it’s normal, does that mean I’m fine?
Often yes, but results must be interpreted alongside symptoms and risk. We provide a GP review and next steps guidance.
Is this an emergency service?
No. For severe symptoms, call 999 or attend A&E.
