User Manual for Easy ECG Monitor 9 Appendix General Knowledge of ECG 1 Normal sinus rhythm: In sinus conditions, SA node paces the heart with the regularly rate and the normal rhythm. The heart rate is in the range of 60 to 100 times per minute and the rhythm is regular. P wave is normal and each one is followed by a QRS wave. P-R interval: 0.12~0.20s; QRS wave: 0.06~0.10s; No ectopic ECG activity. The display of “No apparent irregularity” may be regarded as Normal sinus rhythm.
User Manual for Easy ECG Monitor Indication: It may occur with the normal people who have these physiology conditions: rage, fatigue, smoking, drinking too much wine, excessive coffee and strong tea, etc. Pathology: anemia, Hyperthyroidism, blood hypoxia, myocarditis, hypokalemia, fever, influence of some medication (such as atropine, epinephrine etc.). Suggestion: If it belongs to pathology condition, please go to hospital. 2) Bradycardia: The heartbeat becomes more slowly.
User Manual for Easy ECG Monitor some medicines such as digitalis. Suggestion:If it belongs to the pathology condition, please see a doctor. 3) Premature beat:In a normal beat a QRS waveform appears prematurely and is followed by a comeback pause. What is premature beats？It is premature contraction.
User Manual for Easy ECG Monitor Indication: The premature beat can be found occasionally in healthy people, with no distinct symptom or sometimes with palpitation. This may be caused by fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, smoking too much, or drinking too much wine, coffee, strong tea etc. It can be recovered without treatment. However, if premature beat occurs frequently, continuously or in multi-focus, it will indicate functional cardiovascular disease.
User Manual for Easy ECG Monitor 4) Bigeminy: It is a type of PVC in which a normal beat is coupled with a premature beat. Indication: PVC occurs frequently. Suggestion: Please see a doctor. 5) Trigeminy: It is a type of PVC in which two normal beats are coupled with a premature beat. Indication: PVC occurs frequently. Suggestion: Please see a doctor. 6) Short run of tachycardia: PVC (Premature Ventricular Contraction) occurs more than 3 times continuously.
User Manual for Easy ECG Monitor According to the different of active original position, it can be divided into：Short Run, SVE Short Run （Needing professional to judge）. 1)Short Run ： It is caused by Premature Atrial Contraction or Nodal Premature Beat, frequency>180bpm. Indication：Most commonly found in healthy people, it causes by deep respiration, tachypnea, positional changes, swallow, rage etc.
User Manual for Easy ECG Monitor 7) Missed beats: If the interval of heartbeats is twice the interval of prevenient heartbeats (on average) and is not followed by PVC (Premature Ventricular Contraction), it detected as missed beat. The display of “missing beat” may be doubted as Missed beats. Symptom: arrhythmia，a long time interval. Indication: May be the conduction system of heart blocks，it often occurs in functional cardiovascular disease, Hyperthyroidism and myocardial disease.
