The human heart works tirelessly at any time of the day. Specialists can learn about his activities thanks to a simple test - an electrocardiogram (ECG).

If you begin to feel pain in the heart, the doctor will immediately suggest that you do this test to find out the reasons.

And how is the removal of the ECG and the features of the procedure we will learn further.

CHARACTERISTIC

The ECG technique at the Profmedpomoshch clinic in Moscow is not complicated. Its price is available (indicated in the price list). CROs You don\'t get any punctures or radiation. You are simply connected to a special device that will give information about the work of your heart.

The data will indicate the frequency of contractions of the heart muscle, and possible diseases of the organ will also be identified.

In addition, with the help of this device, diseases such as pulmonary thromboembolism can also be detected.

The ECG device was created at the beginning of the 20th century. Cardiologists around the world still use it today.

The device consists of a galvanometer, an amplification mechanism and a device for recording electric currents that occur in the heart.

The monitoring procedure does not pose any danger to the body, even if it is used frequently.

Doctors recommend conducting an ECG as soon as there is pain and discomfort in the heart area.

The reason for frequent visits to the doctor may also be shortness of breath, extra pounds, stress, high or low blood pressure, rapid rhythm, etc.

People aged 40 years and over are recommended to undergo an annual heart examination, and in some cases up to 4 times a year.

Thus, the patient can be diagnosed correctly in time, and he will receive timely medical care. Do not forget that preventive measures contribute to the prevention of disease.

HOW DOES IT WORK

Electrodes placed on the patient\'s body receive weak electrical currents that originate in the heart. Amplifying, they are fixed with a galvanometer.

Any changes in pulsation are transmitted to a special device that outputs data in the form of a broken line on a paper tape.

The next important stage of the examination is the decoding of the data that the doctor deals with.

The fact is that the teeth on the tape are sized according to special standards. If there are any deviations from the norm, then there is a health problem.

And only a specialist can correctly decipher the cardiogram and establish an accurate diagnosis.

In order for the results of the ECG to be reliable, there is no special training, but some rules must be followed.

FEATURES OF THE

• The patient exposes his body and lies down on the couch. In this case, it is necessary to behave completely calmly;
• Those places where the electrodes will be attached, the health worker degreases with alcohol;
• A special gel is applied to the electrode plates, which conducts current well, as seen in the photo;
• The algorithm for applying the electrodes is simple: the electrodes are attached in the chest area, on the hands and ankles.
• In this case, the plates are fixed either with a plaster or with special suction cups;
• The ECG removal algorithm is as follows: the electrodes receive the electrical impulses of the heart and are transmitted by wire to the device itself, which processes them;
• Then the specialist turns on the device and begins recording ECG data. The device gives out a long tape with a Top CRO graph in the form of teeth of different heights.
• Monitoring data is deciphered by a doctor who will determine the diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
