2.4 UNDERSTANDING ECG RHYTHMS

NOTE: Your ECG must be at least 30 seconds long for the ECG rhythm analysis to be completed. If an ECG is recorded that is less than 30 seconds, No ECG rhythm analysis will be provided. This ECG Rhythm assessment is not a diagnosis. You should

discuss any results with your physician. The reported information is provided for review by a physician who will render a diagnosis based on clinical judgment and experience.

Normal sinus rhythm is defined as the rhythm of a healthy heart. It means the electrical pulse from your sinus node is being properly transmitted throughout the heart muscle.This reading does not guarantee that you are not experiencing an arrhythmia (abnormal heart Rhythm) or other health conditions.

You should still always notify your physician in any cases where you are experiencing symptoms indicating possible changes in your health.

Tachycardia

Your heart rate is faster than expected at rest. A Tachycardia result indicates that the Heart Rate was above 100 beats/min. This is an expected response during exercise, illness and stress but not expected at rest. This can also be due to an arrhythmia (abnormal heart Rhythm). You should discuss any Tachycardia results with your physician.

Your heart rate is slower than expected at rest. A Bradycardia result indicates that the Heart Rate was below 50 beats/min. This may occur normally for people who are physically fit, while they are at rest. This can also be due to an arrhythmia. You should discuss any Bradycardia results with your physician.

Your heart rhythm shows signs of Atrial Fibrillation which is an irregular heart rhythm. AFib can

have serious health effects. This finding is not a diagnosis, it is only a potential finding. You should contact your physician to review any ECG recording in which atrial fibrillation was detected.

Unreadable typically refers to an ECG recording that cannot be accurately interpreted or analyzed due to various factors. Refer to Troubleshooting steps for more information.

Indicative of a section of ECG which was not Bradycardia, Tachycardia OR Atrial Fibrillation and could not be interpreted. Please speak to your physician if you continue to receive this output. There are many possible reasons for getting an inconclusive result, but common causes are moving too much during the assessment.
