Perhaps one of the 20 century, the most useful technologies for the diagnosis of heart disease is the (ECG) electrocardiogram machine. Although much bulkier and heavier than modern ECG machines in use, the first device was built at the turn of the century and was considered a great advance in medicine. Unlike its bulky ancestors, the modern EKG machine is lightweight and portable, the majority of hospitals have on the tables with rollers that can be easily transported from room toSpace.

The use of ECG electrodes for a reading is a relatively new procedure. In the initial phase of the ECG technology, patients were asked to put their hands and feet in a bath of sodium chloride, an important method for mild electrical pulses to the heart of the city. Power lines were subsequently used to transmit signals from the heart of the machine and, finally, the electrodes that we use now replaced these lines. If you shoot at the end of 1800, watch the patient as if they wereconnected to an electric chair. Modern methods have the procedure much easier, safer, more comfortable and more accurate.

Today, many patients are lying on a bed, although some doctors connected to the electrodes, while the patient prefers the application of moderate exercise. Some patients may be asked to ride a stationary bike or walking on a treadmill. The exercise ECG machine during the attachment to the technician or doctor often, a better understanding of cardiac functionModels during the exercise.

The electrodes are connected to the machine ECG Cable, a graphical representation of your heart to create models. In rule # 10, 12 electrodes attached to the patient and lead to the ECG machine. The electrodes make electrical impulses that are emitted from different points of the body. The ECG device converts the pulses in order to read. The waves are then amplified and monitored on a digital display to the technician. During monitoringHeart rate, ECG machine prints the model of continuous image can then be interpreted by the technician or physician or health care professional.
