Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This device can identify potential disruptions of the heart rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this after the measurement with the symbol. This can be an indicator of arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heartbeats, the pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors such as heart disease, age, physical makeup, excess stimulants, stress, or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be determined through an examination by your doctor.
