Description
Uses of a 12-channel ECG machine:
Comprehensive Cardiac Assessment:
It provides a more in-depth look at the heart’s electrical activity compared to machines with fewer leads, allowing for better diagnosis of heart conditions.
Detecting Heart Conditions:
A 12-channel ECG can help identify various heart problems, including:
Arrhythmias: Irregular heart rhythms.
Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack): Damage to heart muscle.
Ischemia: Reduced blood flow to the heart.
Ambulatory Monitoring:
Portable 12-channel ECG machines can be used for continuous monitoring of the heart’s electrical activity, such as during exercise stress tests or remote monitoring.
Emergency Care:
These machines are essential in emergency settings for quickly diagnosing and managing cardiac issues.
Pre-operative Assessment:
ECGs can be used to evaluate a patient’s heart health before surgery
