Description
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
ECG Machine Use:
The paper is specifically designed to be fed into ECG machines that produce the printouts of the heart’s electrical signals.
Recording Tracings:
The machine uses thermal or other printing techniques to create a graph of the heart’s electrical activity on the paper.
Grid System:
The paper often has a grid system (small and large squares) to aid in the analysis of the ECG, such as measuring heart rate or identifying specific heart rhythm patterns.
Analysis and Interpretation:
The ECG paper is then used by medical professionals (cardiologists, nurses, etc.) to analyze the tracings and make diagnoses or assess the need for further tests.
Common Applications:
ECG paper is used in various medical settings, including hospitals, clinics, and doctors’ offices for a variety of reasons, including:
Routine checkups.
Diagnosis of heart conditions.
