Many people in life have heart discomfort. For this abnormal phenomenon, many people will choose to go to the hospital for heart examination. At this time, the first thing the doctor advises the patient to do is often ECG examination. This makes many people feel confused, and they don't know what role ECG examination has. Today, let's solve the puzzle and learn about the "secret" of ECG in all directions!
First of all, we need to know what ECG examination is for.
Electrocardiogram, as one of the most common clinical examinations, plays a role in recording the normal heart activity of human body and reflects the activity performance of the heart in the body when it is beating without our eyes. Don't underestimate this electrocardiogram, but doctors can judge your heart health according to these ups and downs, and even effectively diagnose heart disease.
What diseases can be detected by ECG examination?
1, which can effectively diagnose arrhythmia.
If the human body has cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, or for other reasons, patients are prone to arrhythmia, which will lead to the disorder of cardiac conduction function, affect the normal beating frequency of the heart and lead to the disorder of blood flow. And this kind of disease, we have no way to pass it through external aspects, so ECG examination is a very good way.
2, help diagnose myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction and other diseases.
I believe that in life, many people only know that they have myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction and other diseases through ECG examination. Indeed, this is also a great advantage of ECG examination. By observing heart rate and ST segment, it can help to judge myocardial condition and diagnose diseases.
3. Reflect the heart rate.
If a patient needs surgery because of heart disease, the doctor can know the changes of the patient's heart rate before or during the operation through ECG examination, so that the doctor can perform the operation better through the results of the examination and prevent the accident of the operation.
4. Help pregnant women diagnose heart disease.
Many pregnant women will have the feeling of heart discomfort during pregnancy, and with the extension of pregnancy, the feeling of heart discomfort of pregnant women will become more and more obvious, which is actually the performance of heart disease during pregnancy. Moreover, pregnant women can help doctors and pregnant women to judge whether their hearts are diseased or not, and whether there is a phenomenon of heart overload, thus having the function of diagnosing pregnancy heart disease.
5, help to determine the atrial condition.
When the patient has enlarged atria and ventricles, the patient's heart will be obviously uncomfortable. At this time, we can accurately understand what kind of disease caused the patient's heart abnormality through ECG examination, which is helpful for accurate medication.
For doctors, ECG is a good "good assistant" to understand the patient's heart, but ECG is not everything. Patients should not take chances, thinking that normal ECG examination means that there is no disease in the heart. If or in daily life, there is obvious feeling of heart discomfort, in addition to the common electrocardiogram, further examination can be carried out, which is helpful for timely treatment of the disease.
