A 3-channel ECG machine collects more data than a single-channel ECG machine, making it excellent for identifying certain heart diseases. It allows healthcare experts to discover heart rhythm anomalies and diagnose arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, and heart block.
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a quick test to check the heartbeat. It records the electrical signals in the heart. Test results can help diagnose heart attacks and irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias. ECG machines can be found in medical offices, hospitals, operating rooms and ambulances.
The principle of ECG machine: At every beat, the heart is depolarized to trigger its contraction. This electrical activity is transmitted throughout the body and can be picked up on the skin. This is the principle behind the ECG. An ECG machine records this activity via electrodes on the skin and displays it graphically.
Based on these observations, ECG will help to screen and diagnose for the following conditions : Fast or irregular heart rhythms. Abnormally slow heart rhythms. Abnormal conduction of cardiac electrical impulses, which are symptoms for cardiac or metabolic disorders.
EKG and ECG are actually different spellings of the same diagnostic test that monitors your heart’s electrical activity. EKG is the abbreviation from the German spelling of electrocardiogram (which is elektrokardiogramm in German). The EKG abbreviation came into use because of where the test was initially invented.
The three main components of an ECG Machine: Components of ECG machine are the P wave represents the normal atrium (upper heart chambers) depolarization; the QRS complex (one single heart beat) corresponds to the depolarization of the right and left ventricles (lower heart chambers); the T wave represents the re-polarization (or recovery) of the ventricles.
