Overview area
Overview area
In the Overview area, you can find the following information
about the exercise ECG:
Phase of the exercise ECG (monitoring, exercise,
recovery) and the duration of the phase.
Number and name of the Stage that is currently being
recorded
The current heart rate of the patient and the current
heart rate as a percentage of the maximum
predicted heart rate.
VES: the number of VES beats (Ventricular Extra
Systole) per minute.
The current blood pressure and previous blood
pressure are displayed.
The current workload and the current workload as a
percentage of the maximum workload. The
maximum workload is calculated based on the last
valid stage. By default the minimum stage duration is
30 seconds.
The RPM is displayed when an ergometer is used.
The protocol that you selected at the start of the test.
The following variables can be set:
Speed [mm/sec] and sensitivity [mm/mV].
Pacemaker on/off. ECG traces can contain artificial
pacemaker signal indicators. You can remove this
artificial pacer indicator by disabling the "Show Pacer"
selection. To learn how, see Exercise ECG settings-
Gene
ral tab on page 48.
Baseline filter on/off. ECG traces
can contain some
baseline wander caused by movement. You can
reduce this wander of the baseline by applying a
baseline filter.
Muscle filter on/off. Muscle noise in an ECG signal
hides low amplitude signals that may be important for
the interpretation of an ECG. You can remove this
noise with a muscle noise filter.
After switching to the recovery phase, the total exercise time, the maximum heart rate, the
maximum workload, the protocol name, and the current METS values are displayed.
Tabs below the ECG traces:
Trends tab
The Trends tab contains the event list and three curves:
Workload against time
Heart rate against time. The VES (ventricular extra
systole) count can be displayed in the Heart rate graph
from the shortcut menu.
Blood pressure against time. The RPP (Rate Pressure
Product) can be displayed in the Blood pressure graph
from the shortcut menu.
