What is the principle of ECG monitoring?

The principle of ECG monitoring is to use electrodes to record the small electrical signals generated by the heart’s activity on a patient’s body, and then convert these signals into visual ECG waveforms through amplification and filtering techniques.

During an ECG monitoring procedure, healthcare providers attach several leads to different locations on the patient’s body. These leads act as receivers that can capture the weak electric currents emitted by the heart, and transmit them to an ECG machine. The machine processes and analyzes this data, generating a chart or digital record that reflects key parameters such as heart rhythm, rate, and other relevant information.

It should be noted that while ECG monitoring can help doctors diagnose certain conditions or abnormalities, it cannot replace comprehensive examination and professional medical evaluation. If you have any health concerns, be sure to consult with a qualified healthcare provider for accurate advice and treatment plans.

Plus1Health has an ECG recorder that can perform 24-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring and provide ECG report analysis.
