Why do we need to Have a Portable ECG Monitor at Home?
The heart muscles have an automatic discharge of electricity from the sinoatrial (SA) node, a group of specialized cells located in the right atrium, also known as the heart's natural pacemaker. This is the primary node, or the initiating node, which generates the first electrical impulse. On average, there are 60 to 100 times discharges per minute.
When the SA node sends out electrical impulses, both atria contract, and the electrical current is relayed to the atrioventricular (AV) node, located between the 2 ventricles. The electrical wave is then transmitted from the AV node to the lower chambers of the heart, or ventricles, via the "bundle branches". The ventricles will then, contract and pump blood to the whole body.
The normal delay between the atrium and ventricle contractions is 0.12 to 0.20 seconds. By studying the electrical activity that results when heart muscle cells contract, we gain insight to the health and workings of the heart. These electrical activities can be detected, reordered and studied with an electrocardiograph, for example a conventional ECG Machine or a Portable HandHeld ECG Monitor like SmartONE ECG.
Arrhythmia is an abnormal or irregular hear rhythm resulting from any changes, deviation or malfunction in the normal conduction system of the heart. Early diagnosis of an arrhythmia is very important. This is because the longer an arrhythmia lasts without any detection or treatment, the greater the chances of permanent damage and additional heart dysfunction. This can also lead to complications like Stroke.
The irregular beating of the atrial chambers that is characteristic of atrial fibrillation results in stagnation and pooling of blood in the heart that can lead to blood clot formation, particularly in the left atrium. These blood clots can travel via the circulatory system and lodge in the brain, thereby, cutting-off the blood supply to a region of the brain (stroke). In fact, stroke represents the most common devastating consequence of atrial fibrillation. About 15 percent of strokes occur in people with atrial fibrillation.
Having a portable ECG machine is always good. Getting your ecg test checked at the physician's is not only expensive but also time consuming. If you have these portable ECG machines with you, it helps you to monitor your heart's fitness everyday and can be used as a home ecg monitor just like blood pressure monitor. If you are pursuing healthy heart exercises, getting your heart rate checked regularly along with rhythm management shall be beneficial.
These are small Ultra light Portable Handheld ECG device which are like smart phones, can monitor heart rhythms at home and can be used as a screening tool. The current generation of Handheld ECG machines, are devices with which you can record your heart's electrical activity in just 25 seconds, view the key parameters on the LCD screen, and later print the trends in heart activity using ecg software to help your physician detect abnormal heart rhythms at a early stage.Users can also email the results to their physicians or healthcare professionals.
Portable Hand Held Monitors also known a ECG or EKG Monitors help in early detection of abnormal heart rhythms. In fact, Smart ONE ECG can be as useful as a conventional 12 Lead ECG Monitors. Although; it is limited to be used as early screening tool.
