It is firmly believed that when it comes to ECG examination, people are not familiar with it, they understand that heart abnormalities can be detected based on ECG examination to basically grasp the heart condition. In clinical medicine, ECG tests are divided into several categories, including general ECG tests, dynamic ECG tests and exercise ECG tests. It is likely that some people will not be able to detect anything after a general ECG test, and in what cases it is necessary to carry out a dynamic ECG test.

What is an ambulatory ECG?

An ambulatory ECG is a long-term record of the heart's activity and its transformation under quiet conditions. Some patients do not find any hidden abnormalities after a general ECG examination, and a 24-hour ambulatory ECG examination can provide a detailed understanding of the abnormalities. It is a key diagnostic method for non-traumatic examinations in the cardiovascular industry at this stage, and is more relative than a general ECG. It can continuously record the whole process of the heart's thematic activity over a 24-hour period, which includes different conditions of heart fibrillation such as rest, meals, study and training, sleep quality, etc. It can reveal some difficulties that cannot be detected by ECG.

Who must have an ECG?

I. Inexplicable cardiac discomfort

In cases where there is a suspicion of heart disease, such as panic, chest tightness, shortness of breath or chest pain, a 24-hour ambulatory ECG is required if no abnormality is diagnosed on a general ECG examination.

Suspected inadequate blood supply to the heart

In general, the rate of misdiagnosis of cardiac insufficiency is higher with a basic ECG, so an ambulatory ECG can improve the rate of detection of cardiac insufficiency in cases where it is suspected.

Patients taking medication

For patients who are taking anti-arrhythmic or anti-hypoperfusion medication, the results of the ECG can be used as a key guide to detect the effects of the medication in these patients.

The elderly

For the elderly, they must have an ECG every year, as most of them have a high probability of myocardial infarction, but are not prone to coronary heart disease symptoms such as heart attack, and the basic ECG test is also an indication that everything is normal, but a regular ECG test can detect different levels of major manifestations of inadequate blood supply to the heart, and can help the elderly to detect some initial cardiac degeneration.

In general, an ECG can give a more detailed and visual picture of the heart condition, so it is important for these people to know the condition of their heart based on an ECG. Only based on an ECG can it be detailed and allow the physician to carry out appropriate countermeasures based on the results of the examination.
