“…The similarities between Willem Einthoven and Norman Jefferis Holter are more apparent than their differences. Although Einthoven received his medical degree in 1885, his interest in recording electrical potentials from the heart emanated from his teacher Donders of the University of Utrecht 4 . This interest led to his accepting a position as a physiologist at the University of Leiden in 1886, where his work progressed from the frog gastrocnemius muscle to the string galvanometer 4 .…”

Holter technology has endured for more than 40 years, and proven to be a valuable adjunctive noninvasive diagnostic technology to record the ambulatory or long-term electrocardiogram in the study of living creatures. During this span of time, many scientists, physicians, and innovators contributed to the development and evolution of Holter technology. This essay seeks to document a view of the history and evolution of the technology during that time, and concomitantly give recognition to the scientists, physicians, and engineers who contributed so greatly.
