The ECG Measuring Device - Application and Functionality
An electrocardiogram provides doctors with important information for diagnosing and treating various diseases. Changes in the heart's normal rhythm - the sinus rhythm - are recognized quickly and easily. An ECG device helps identify heart attacks, inflammations, strokes, abnormal tissue changes or electrolyte balance disorders.
Special types of ECG are used to diagnose certain disorders and treat them optimally. A long-term ECG provides information about the nature of cardiac arrhythmias, while an exercise ECG provides information about exercise-related cardiovascular diseases. Buy stationary and mobile ECG devices now!
Performing an ECG
Examining cardiac activity with an ECG device is a non-invasive, risk-free method that can be repeated as often as necessary without side effects. Patients with frequent heart problems have the option of wearing an ECG device on their body for several days.
Conventional ECG devices are equipped with electrodes attached to different parts of the body on the skin's surface. They are used to determine and record changes in electrical voltage caused by cardiac activity. Heart rate, heart rhythm and the so-called electrical heart axis are measured. These measured values, also called leads, are then displayed on a monitor channel in the familiar waveform and provide initial indications of a possible diagnosis.
To ensure trouble-free and skin-friendly use, special contact agents are applied to the skin as a spray, gel or cream, as well as to the electrodes. These products improve measurement accuracy and thus optimize ongoing medical practice. You will find suitable contact agents for your ECG measuring device in our Medicalcorner24® online shop in the Conductive Gel & Coupling Agents category.
The Mobile ECG Device for Private Use
Like a stationary ECG, a mobile ECG is used to measure the heart's electrical activity and record these values over an extended period in everyday life. The measurement is performed using connected cuffs or electrodes integrated directly into the housing. One advantage of the mobile version of the ECG is that it does not require any contact medium and can be integrated inconspicuously into everyday life. After the measurement, the recorded data can be transmitted directly to the treating physician and evaluated using the integrated software.
Note: Please note that a mobile ECG device is used for precautionary monitoring of cardiac activity and cannot replace a medical examination with a stationary ECG device in the event of persistent heart problems!
Buying a mobile ECG device is particularly recommended for patients who want long-term monitoring of heart function due to already diagnosed heart problems such as arrhythmias. A mobile ECG device can also be purchased and used by patients with previous risk factors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity, to monitor the heart's activity at different levels of exertion.
If you buy and use a mobile ECG device, serious health problems such as a heart attack can be detected early and prevented as effectively as possible. During long-term monitoring, it is advisable to collect additional data using blood pressure monitors or blood glucose meters to enable a precise diagnosis.
