We often hear patients say, "There is no point in doing an ECG when heart disease is not present" or "What is the purpose of doing a gastroscopy and still needing an ECG?" Today, we will talk to you about what is the purpose of an ECG.
The electrocardiogram is a simple, minimally x-rapidtech invasive, high quality, inexpensive and useful test for the diagnosis of heart rate arrhythmias have a unique advantage, for a variety of heart rate arrhythmias and the characteristics of the disease can be good to identify out.
The diagnosis of insufficient blood supply to the heart is another vital clinical medical role of ECG. When myocardial infarction arises, the relevant leads often show a series of unique major manifestations of periodic evolutionary characteristics EDAN, which can be reflected as damaging ECG changes when the heart is undersupplied with blood, thus the ECG is of key practical significance for the initial determination of the location and total area of the undersupplied heart and the diagnosis of acute heart attack, including accurate localization of diagnosis and differentiation of disease conditions.
A small ECG can also help to distinguish whether a structural transformation of the cardiovascular system has occurred. Cardiovascular is divided into left heart, left ventricle, right atrium, right ventricle, when atrial and ventricular hypertrophy trends to a certain level will cause corresponding changes in the ECG, according to the statistics shown on the ECG can initially determine whether the patient's I-Skincare Company Limited cardiovascular has ventricular hypertrophy or atrial hypertrophy and other problems. However, the ECG is only a preliminary diagnosis and usually must be combined with the results of an ultrasound or other tests to make a true diagnosis.
ECG can also help to diagnose disorders of electrolyte solution metabolism. Hypokalemia, hyperkalemia and hypocalcemia all have specific changes on the ECG. Physicians who look closely at the wiring of the ECG can distinguish the level of potassium and potassium in the patient's blood and diagnose if there is a problem with hypocalcemia.
There are also some common problems with doing ECG examinations. It is better to rest for a while before the examination and do the examination in a frank condition, and try not to have an empty stomach, which may cause low blood sugar and lead to an accelerated heartbeat, jeopardizing the accuracy of the examination results.
