Tabs below the ECG traces:
History tab
The History tab shows the history of all twelve leads. Here,
you can move back in time, or print a view, while the exercise
ECG recording continues. Clicking the double arrow buttons
moves forward and backward from event to event.
ST/Slope tab
This ST/slope tab shows the comparison between the actual
and referral ST measurement. The arrows below give the
direction of the slope.
Test Information
General information about the test including for example the
reasons for the recording, the type of test and cardiac risk
factors can be added in the test information tab.
Test observations
Observations made during and prior to the recording, including
for example the symptoms during stress, baseline ECG results
and reasons for test termination can be added in the test
observations tab.
Interpretation tab
In the Interpretation tab you can add an interpretation and
comments like reasons for stopping the test. You can start
adding comments while the test is still in progress.
Tabs to the right of the ECG traces:
ST tab
The ST tab displays trends for the measured ST and ST slope
against time. You can display three leads at a time, and select
which leads you want to see.
Table tab
The Table tab displays an overview of the last measured ST
values, the value for the reference ST and the resulting ST
deviation for each lead. The highest deviation values are
displayed in bold red text. Below the ST values, the lead with
the highest ST elevation or depression is displayed.
Complex tab
The Complex tab displays the average complex of a lead. You
can select which lead should be displayed.
Shortcut menu
The shortcut menu provides a variety of controls depending
on the tab which is active, including setting the ST point and
the display of the Slope values.
2.2 Record an exercise ECG
Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Exercise ECG records exercise ECGs easily and reliably. The only
thing you have to do is make sure the electrodes are placed correctly and switch on the
recorder. Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Exercise ECG takes care of recording, adjusting the
ergometer or treadmill, making a number of measurements and calculations, taking blood
pressure readings and saving the recording.
To record an exercise ECG, you need to follow these global steps. Each step is explained in
more detail on the following pages.
