Electrocardiographs

An ECG device is a diagnostic device for assessing the condition and functions of the heart. During the diagnostic procedure, cardiac impulses are recorded over a certain period of time. Based on the results of the examination, the diagnostician draws conclusions about the presence of disturbances in the functioning of the heart. Episodes of contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle are traced on a special tape - a cardiogram. The cardiogram is a series of peaks that deviate from the isoline - the peak points are higher or lower. What the cardiogram shows:

• The number of heartbeats per minute.
• Heart rhythm (normal sinus) and its disturbances - arrhythmias.
• Ischemia, infarction (impaired blood supply to a section of the heart) of the myocardium with precise localization of the pathological focus.
• Hypertrophy (increased wall thickness and mass) of the ventricles.

Based on the results of the study using the ECG device, the doctor may suspect such diseases as myocarditis (inflammation of the myocardium), pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium), myocardial dystrophy (damage to the tissues of the heart muscle of non-inflammatory genesis).

A mobile electrocardiograph is a mandatory device in an ambulance. The device is used by employees of the intensive care and cardiology departments. A portable electrocardiograph is installed near the bed of each patient in the intensive care and cardiology department. The device helps to monitor the patient's condition, his cardiac activity online. You need to buy a portable electrocardiograph for your home to monitor changes in your heart rhythm.

If a person suffers from heart disease, constant monitoring of the heart is necessary in order to promptly seek medical help if the condition worsens. Devices for determining the heart rate and heartbeat rhythm are used to monitor the health and admission to work of military personnel, pilots, employees of rescue and fire services.

Based on the results of the study using the ECG device in sports, permission is given for training and competitions. In any field of activity where employees are exposed to increased physical and psycho-emotional stress, studies in the format of electrocardiography are regularly conducted.

Main types and characteristics

ECG devices differ in the number of channels, there are single-channel, three-channel, six-channel, twelve-channel. Single-channel models are the simplest devices that are mainly used by emergency doctors and therapists. The device is lightweight - about 900 g, a simple control system. The electrocardiogram is printed on a special tape using thermal printing. Usually, the model is powered by the network and is equipped with a battery for autonomous operation.

Twelve-channel devices are used in diagnostic rooms and centers, in the cardiology and cardiac surgery department. The twelve-channel electrocardiograph has an extended set of functions - the ability to record data for more than 60 minutes, communicate with a computer for control and quick sending of data to any computer device, continuous monitoring of the main indicators, an audible signal when the indicators deviate from the norm, and the formation of a detailed report.

How to choose ECG devices

Before buying an electrocardiograph in Ukraine, you need to know what models there are and how they differ. The cost of the device depends on the type (portable or stationary, household or medical), technical characteristics and functionality. Functional capabilities of modern models with software:

• Contour analysis of data and issuance of a preliminary conclusion.
• Option for automatic connection of additional leads when signs of arrhythmia and other cardiac pathologies are detected.
• Option for continuous ECG monitoring over a long period of time with data storage in the device's memory.
• Option for creating an archive and storing the results of examination of several patients.
• Possibility of remote control and monitoring using mobile phones and other devices.

Before buying an electrocardiograph, you need to consider the purpose, installation location, planned intensity of use, necessary options and functions.
