Electrocardiographs

An electrocardiograph is a device that records electrical impulses that occur during the heart's work. ECG is the simplest method and is used to diagnose the proper functioning of the heart.

The main functions of the ECG device

During the procedure:

• - displays and records an ECG diagram in manual and automatic modes;
• - automatically measures and diagnoses ECG parameters;
• - prints 3/6/12 ECG leads on paper.

Cardiographs differ in functionality. The wider it is, the higher their cost is.

Electrocardiogram allows you to diagnose various types of cardiac pathology. According to the ECG, it is possible to:

• - determine sinus, nodal, and other heart rhythms;
• - determine heart rate (HR);
• - determine heart rhythm disorders.

Based on the information received, the doctor draws conclusions about the patient's condition and prescribes treatment.

Criteria for choosing a cardiograph

When choosing a cardiograph, you need to consider the following criteria:

1. Scope of use of the cardiograph. For example, an ambulance will need a small portable device for quick ECG recording in the field. For use in hospital wards, both a portable cardiograph and an ECG machine located on a mobile trolley are suitable. Different models of cardiographs provide different printing capabilities on thermal paper: 3, 6 or 12 channels.
2. The availability of software (software) for data processing on a computer or the ability to connect a telemedicine module.
