11 ECG

Overview

The electrocardiography, ECG, reflects the electrical activity generated by the heart muscle.
ECG monitoring is used for a heart rate measurement, for arrhythmia analysis and for
detecting pacemaker function and myocardial ischemia.
In Normal Screen, when measuring 5-lead ECG, you can simultaneously monitor the
waveforms of up to three different ECG leads. In 3-lead ECG, the monitor displays one ECG lead.
When monitoring the ECG, the monitor simultaneously analyzes ST segment changes.
