Can you find out if the ECG can detect heart disease?
As we all know, electrocardiogram is an important means to check cardiovascular disease. In the medical industry, this test is simple and convenient, and the price is low, so the clinical application is very wide. For diseases such as acute myocardial infarction or angina pectoris, tachycardia, abnormal cardiac conduction function, etc., checking the electrocardiogram can provide very valuable information. Can the electrocardiogram detect heart disease? Solution.
But electrocardiogram is not a panacea. After analysis of many heart diseases by central monitoring system manufacturers, abnormalities cannot be found by doing electrocardiogram examination. For example, in some patients with coronary heart disease, although the coronary artery stenosis is very serious, their electrocardiogram can be completely free of any abnormalities. As another example, heart failure is a very serious type of heart disease, and the electrocardiogram of some patients can also be completely normal. Some intermittent heart attacks, such as premature beats, atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal tachycardia, angina pectoris / myocardial ischemia, etc., can not be detected by ECG when symptoms do not occur.
Therefore, a normal ECG does not mean that there is definitely no heart disease. The diagnosis of various heart diseases must be combined with the patient's medical history, symptoms, and signs to make judgments. The EEG machine needs more auxiliary examinations if necessary (such as exercise electrocardiogram, dynamic electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, coronary artery CT, coronary Arteriography, etc.)
