ECG can help you in early detection of underlying heart diseases

Changing lifestyle and nutrition have led to many serious health problems as in this fast pace world which is running at a lightning speed we often tend to ignore our health and exert ourselves  and this makes us prone to heart as well as various health problems.

An ECG stands for electrocardiogram machine which is one of the devices used in diagnosis of patients which are having heart-related problems. It is advised by physicians to the people who experiences, dizziness, weakness, difficulty in breathing, chest pain and shortness of breath.

How ECG machine works?

The main mechanism of ECG machine is that it records the electrical impulses emitted by the heart and it is non-invasive procedure so the patient who undergoes such diagnostic procedure doesn’t feel any discomfort during the process.

ECG machines produce a graph displaying signals and doctors can easily read them and identify the abnormalities in the heart such as any type of thickening of the walls, blockages in arteries. Some ECG machines are designed to detect real time heart rates of the patients and can be used during heart surgeries.

It detects heartbeat rate and regularity, position and size of heart chambers, any damaged as well as diseased tissue and various other structural abnormalities. It is also capable in detecting pacemakers and surgical repairs as well effects of various drugs on the heart. However, ECG cannot detect blood flow. It also detects heart conditions like heart murmur, arrhythmia that is irregular heartbeats and Myocardial infarction also known as “heart attack”. It also detects Syncope or seizures.

Parts of an ECG Machine

ECG machine consists of circuitry box which houses the machine and which is linked to number of electrodes. These electrodes detect impulses which are recorded in pairs and each pair is called lead.
