Symptoms such as heart pain, palpitations, and shortness
of breath may be signs of heart diseases such as angina
or cardiac infarction. With the OMRON Portable HCG-801
ECG Monitor, a recording of about 30 seconds can be
made when symptoms occur whether at home or away. These
recordings can then be shown to the doctor, who can
examine it and use it for correct diagnosis. From analysis
of the waveform, some information can be obtained on
the presence of arrhythmia or ST-level deviations related
to ischaemic heart disease.
Taking the condition of the user into consideration,
the user-friendly and ergonomic design allows the user
to take a reading instantly and discretely. The design
of the pick-up sensor system provides a sufficiently
clear signal for further evaluation in the ECG device.

By comparing your electrocardiogram rhythm and shape
with normal waves, various heart diseases can be diagnosed.
*Arrhythmia
For example, problems between RR's indicate a problem
with your heartbeat rhythm.
*Problems with Heart Shape & Functions
For example, increases or decreases in the ST portion
are shown if there is a cardiac infarction or angina.This
ST portion is also used to determine ischemic heart
disease.
* If a wave is abnormal, wave characteristics can
indicate various kinds of heart diseases. However,
even if a wave is irregular, it does not necessarily
mean a person has a heart disease. Therefore, it is
necessary for someone with expert knowledge to diagnose
the problem. Do not make self-diagnosis based on the
recorded information. Please have a doctor diagnose.
Ischaemic heart disease or arrhythmia can be transient.
ECG performed and read at doctor's office is the reference
investigation in that case. Sometimes, due to the
transient symptoms pattern, abnormalities cannot be
recorded at doctor's office, although the disease
is a reality in daily life.
The Holter ECG procedure including a 24-hour monitoring
with electrode leads being continuously applied to
the patient can help in some cases. The Holter procedure
is heavy and expensive.
Sometimes the worsening of heart condition (increasingly
repetitive pattern of transient abnormalities) can
alert and allow taking corrective treatments before
a potential heart attack or stroke.
The HeartScan ECG monitor can detect the waveform
and provide to the doctor relevant data on the heart
condition of the patient in daily life. |
