ECG is widely used in clinical practice and can detect many diseases, such as the following:
First, arrhythmia, whether it is fast heartbeat, slow heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, premature beats, ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, etc., can be found by doing an electrocardiogram.
Second, structural heart disease, whether the heart is enlarged or thickened, whether the atrium is enlarged or the ventricle is enlarged, can also be reflected by the electrocardiogram.
Third, the important disease that can be detected is myocardial ischemia, especially myocardial infarction. There is a type of myocardial infarction called ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. This diagnosis can only be made by electrocardiogram. Therefore, electrocardiogram is used in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. It is very important in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia.
Fourth, electrolyte abnormalities, electrolyte disturbances, such as low potassium, low blood potassium, high blood potassium, high blood calcium, low blood calcium, etc., can be reflected by the electrocardiogram.
Fifth, other important diseases, especially acute and critical illnesses, such as pulmonary embolism, also have specific manifestations on the electrocardiogram.
Therefore, ECG is very important in clinical practice. Of course, special emphasis is placed on doing ECG when symptoms occur, and the sensitivity and specificity will be relatively better. However, due to the transient characteristics of heart disease attacks, it is difficult to accurately capture, and the traditional ECG detection is cumbersome to operate. Therefore, patients with heart disease need to do daily regular monitoring.
Plus1Health has an ECG recorder, which can monitor ECG, issue ECG in time, and support single-lead, 3-lead, 6-lead, and 12-lead. There is also a free APP “AFibCheck“, which can be downloaded and used by searching in the mobile app store, and the operation is simple and convenient.
