What is an ECG monitor？

Dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is used to help doctors diagnose intermittent arrhythmias that occur occasionally and are unpredictable. This arrhythmia usually produces sudden symptoms, but is usually no longer present by the time people go to the doctor. For this reason, many of the arrhythmias that cause symptoms are difficult or impossible to diagnose with standard electrocardiograms.

Holter monitoring can be used to record your heart rhythm over a longer period of time (days, weeks, or even years) to greatly increase the chances of capturing and recording such brief, intermittent, but potentially significant arrhythmias.

Elelctrocardiograph machine is short for ECG machine or EKG machine.Rooemed provides 3 channel, 6 channel and 12 channel ECG machines.

What does the ECG monitor show?

An electrocardiogram test monitors the electrical activity of your heart and shows it moving along a line of peaks and troughs. It measures the current flowing through your heart. Each person has a unique ECG track, but patterns can indicate various heart problems, such as arrhythmias.

When do I need an EKG?

An electrocardiogram test can help screen for and diagnose various heart problems. This is the most common way to check if your heart is healthy or to monitor for existing heart disease. You may benefit from an electrocardiogram scan or long-term monitoring if you have symptoms related to heart problems, a family member with heart disease, or if your lifestyle is negatively affecting your health.

What are the electrocardiogram tests involved?

The electrical activity of the heart can be measured on the surface of the skin and even the principle of the heart, such as in your arm or leg. A standard 12 channel ECG machine has 10 electrodes, six of which are placed on your chest and then on your arm and calf. These electrodes are wired to the machine. The machine converts the signal into an electrocardiogram and saves it. Some machines can also print out diagrams.

What do the results of the 12 channel ECG machine show?

The 12 channel ECG machine takes advantage of the fact that signals from the heart don’t spread evenly across the skin. The device compares the strength of the signal between two electrodes — measurements doctors call “wires.” Based on clues showing irregularities, experts can find out where, for example, a heart attack is occurring, or whether heart rate problems are coming from the left or right ventricle.The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body. It is responsible for running blood to all parts of the body and maintaining basic human activities. When the heart muscle is excited, it produces a weak electric current that travels throughout the body. ECG curve is the current recorded from the body surface with a certain lead. Clinical diagnosis is usually carried out with a 12 channel ECG machine. Heart directly reflects a person’s physical health, through the electrocardiogram, can be intuitively observed.
