ECG Devices – Also Mobile Devices for Home Use

The ECG Measuring Device - Application and Functionality

The electrocardiogram provides doctors with important information about the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Changes in the normal rhythm of the heart - the sinus rhythm - are recognized quickly and easily. An ECG device helps to identify heart attacks, inflammations, strokes, abnormal tissue changes or disorders of the electrolyte balance.

Special ECG types are created in order to diagnose certain disorders and to be able to treat them optimally. A long-term ECG provides information about the nature of cardiac arrhythmias, while the exercise ECG provides information about exercise-related cardiovascular diseases.

Performing the ECG

The examination of cardiac activities with an ECG device is a non-invasive, risk-free examination method and can be repeated as often as required without side effects. Patients with frequent heart problems have the option of wearing an ECG machine on their body for several days.

Conventional ECG devices are equipped with electrodes that are attached to different parts of the body on the surface of the skin. This is used to determine and record the change 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 derivatives - are then played out in the familiar waveform on a channel in the monitor and provide initial indications of a possible finding.

In order to guarantee a trouble-free and skin-friendly application, special contact agents are applied to the skin as a spray, gel or cream as well as electrodes. These resources increase the measurement accuracy and thus optimize the ongoing practice service. You will find suitable contact agents for your ECG measuring device in our Medicalcorner24® online shop in the category Conductive Gel & Coupling Agents.

The Mobile ECG Device for Private Use

Similar to a stationary ECG, a mobile ECG is used to measure the electrical activity of the heart and to record these values over a longer period of time in everyday life. The measurement is carried out using connected cuffs or electrodes that are integrated directly into the housing. One advantage of the mobile version of the ECG is that it does not require any contact means and can be integrated inconspicuously into everyday life. After the measurement, the determined data can be transmitted directly to the treating doctor and evaluated using the integrated software.

Buying a mobile ECG device is particularly recommended for patients who, due to already diagnosed heart problems such as arrhythmias, want a long-term examination of the heart function. A mobile ECG device can also be purchased and used for patients with a previous exposure, such as increased blood pressure, diabetes or obesity, to monitor the heart's activity at different levels of exposure.

If you buy and use a mobile ECG device, serious health problems such as a heart attack can be detected early and optimally prevented. During the long-term check-up, it is advisable to obtain further data from blood pressure monitors or blood glucose meters in order to be able to make a precise diagnosis.
