ECG machines offer various benefits for detection and monitoring of heart conditions. They are an essential component in detecting, diagnosing, and treating patients with heart diseases.

1. What are the benefits of an
ECG Machine
Silverline Meditech Pvt. Ltd

2. Introduction
• The ECG machine is used to perform a routine examination of the
electrical activity of the human heart or to ascertain the condition
of the heart in an emergency.
• It provides medical practitioners and patients a painless and non
invasive method of recording the contraction and expansion of the
heart with the aim of further treatment.
• The test is useful for detection of cardiac problems in patients.
• This screening test is not infallible as it cannot identify the cause of
a problem and in some cases fails to detect a problem that is
unrelated to electrical activity.

3. What does the machine record?
• This machine records the rate of heart beat along with its pattern
and frequency.
• Analysis of this recorded data helps in identifying the heart’s
position in the cavity.
• It also reveals existence of damaged heart muscles, impaired blood
flow, and increases heart wall thickness.
• These observations lead to diagnosis of irregular, abnormal or slow
heart rhythm, cardiac disorders, prior heart attacks, heart damage
and enlargement.

4. How the machine works
• The machine has a number of electrodes that are attached to the
patient’s feet wrists and around the heart chamber as the patient
lies in a relaxed position.
• Once the machine is switched on it begins to record the activity of
the heart.
• The electrodes amplify the weak current of the heart and the data
is presented as a curved graph that doctors evaluate.

5. Innovative machines and their
advantages
• Machines with built in software perform two tasks. They record the
activity of the heart and also interpret the data recorded.
• In certain cases they can compare the results to different built in
database. This is useful for identifying hidden problem areas that
may otherwise escape detection.
• These machines also have the capacity to detect the activity of pace
makers, a feature missing in machines without in-built software.
• This additional information impacts monitoring and heart condition
holistically.

6. Benefits of home machines
• This is a portable and hand held device that is both simple and easy
to use.
• It provides cardiac monitoring at all times and places with
measurements made available within minutes.
• It can be used to understand the warning signs of heart attacks so
that precious time is saved before patients get medical assistance.
• It is a useful device for sleep apnea study in patients. Use of the
machine helps in detecting sleep apnea patterns.
• This machine can also be used as an alternative to Holter
monitoring of the heart.

7. Conclusion
• ECG machines offer various benefits for detection and monitoring
of heart conditions.
• They are an essential component in detecting, diagnosing, and
treating patients with heart diseases.
• Doctors use these machines to regularly monitor conditions of the
heart for high risk patients and as follow up after incidents of heart
attacks and heart surgery.
