EKG Machines: The Machine That May Save Your Life
Heart disease kills more Americans every year than any other medical malady. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that every 20 to 25 seconds, an American suffers a coronary event. More terrifying than that statistic is this one: only half of them will live through it. Healthy diet and exercise do not guarantee that an individual will have a healthy heart and it is for this reason that early detection is the best way to combat America’s silent killer. Tests conducted with EKG machines are one of the best ways to prevent future heart related complications and this technology is more accessible than ever before.
How Common are EKG Machines?
Medical equipment suppliers offer various brands of EKG machines in a broad price range thereby making EKG technology widely available. Used medical equipment is tested to the highest standards which makes used EKG machines an affordable option for small clinics or private doctor’s offices. Selecting a doctor with access to this technology allows patients an early diagnose of potential underlying heart conditions. Having tests done before there is a coronary event gives doctors not only a point of reference but more significantly, it informs patients about their risks and enables them to enact measures to hopefully prevent a future problem.
What is an EKG Test?
The EKG test is a quick and painless procedure. The patient will lie flat on their back and the nurse adheres electrodes directly to their chest and other points on their body. Once the patient is hooked up to the machine, it will begin recording the patient’s heart rate, strength of heart muscle contractions, blood flow and the amount of oxygen delivered to the heart. The machine records its findings and then prints out a graph that the doctor will read to determine heart health. This test not only allows a doctor to know if a heart attack has happened in the past or is currently happening, but it also gives notice of birth defects, enlarged heart muscles, irregular heart rhythm and heart disease.
The whole process takes less than 30 minutes but provides a plethora of potentially lifesaving information. The first step to combat heart disease is to be informed; see a doctor who has an EKG machine readily available in their office, it may be the difference between life and death.
