  1. What are the benefits of an ECG Machine Silverline Meditech Pvt. Ltd

  2. Introduction • The ECG machine is used to perform a routine examination of the electrical activity of the human heart or to ascertain the condition of the heart in an emergency. • It provides medical practitioners and patients a painless and non invasive method of recording the contraction and expansion of the heart with the aim of further treatment. • The test is useful for detection of cardiac problems in patients. • This screening test is not infallible as it cannot identify the cause of a problem and in some cases fails to detect a problem that is unrelated to electrical activity.

  3. What does the machine record? • This machine records the rate of heart beat along with its pattern and frequency. • Analysis of this recorded data helps in identifying the heart’s position in the cavity. • It also reveals existence of damaged heart muscles, impaired blood flow, and increases heart wall thickness. • These observations lead to diagnosis of irregular, abnormal or slow heart rhythm, cardiac disorders, prior heart attacks, heart damage and enlargement.

  4. How the machine works • The machine has a number of electrodes that are attached to the patient’s feet wrists and around the heart chamber as the patient lies in a relaxed position. • Once the machine is switched on it begins to record the activity of the heart. • The electrodes amplify the weak current of the heart and the data is presented as a curved graph that doctors evaluate.

  5. Innovative machines and their advantages • Machines with built in software perform two tasks. They record the activity of the heart and also interpret the data recorded. • In certain cases they can compare the results to different built in database. This is useful for identifying hidden problem areas that may otherwise escape detection. • These machines also have the capacity to detect the activity of pace makers, a feature missing in machines without in-built software. • This additional information impacts monitoring and heart condition holistically.

  6. Benefits of home machines • This is a portable and hand held device that is both simple and easy to use. • It provides cardiac monitoring at all times and places with measurements made available within minutes. • It can be used to understand the warning signs of heart attacks so that precious time is saved before patients get medical assistance. • It is a useful device for sleep apnea study in patients. Use of the machine helps in detecting sleep apnea patterns. • This machine can also be used as an alternative to Holter monitoring of the heart.

  7. Conclusion • ECG machines offer various benefits for detection and monitoring of heart conditions. • They are an essential component in detecting, diagnosing, and treating patients with heart diseases. • Doctors use these machines to regularly monitor conditions of the heart for high risk patients and as follow up after incidents of heart attacks and heart surgery.
