Di stori bɔt yu at ritm - Ɔltin bɔt di ECG (Electrocardiogram) tɛst!

Yu dɔn ɛva gɛt ECG? Ɔ yu dɔktɔ ɔ nɔs dɔn ɛva aks yu fɔ gɛt wan? Sɔntɛm dis kin mek yu fred smɔl ɛn big to yu. Bɔt fɔ tru, ECG na tɛst we rili simpul, we nɔ de mek pɔsin fil pen , bɔt we rili impɔtant . Tide, wi go tɔk bɔt wetin na ECG, wetin i de du, ɛn wetin i kin tɛl wi insay wan we we rili simpul ɛn we wi kin ɔndastand.

Wetin na ECG (Ilektrokardiogram)?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, ECG (electrocardiogram) na tɛst we de sho aw ilɛktrik de wok na yu at . Mɔ spesifik wan, i de mɛzhɔ di smɔl smɔl ilɛktrik wev dɛn we de kɔmɔt we yu at de bit. Dɔktɔ dɛn kin yuz am fɔ bɔku tin, lɛk fɔ chɛk fɔ si if yu at gɛt prɔblɛm ɔ fɔ si aw wan patikyula tritmɛnt de afɛkt yu at.

Dis na tɛst we kin rili kwik, we nɔ kin ambɔg pɔsin. Yu kin du am we yu de ledɔm na bed. sכmtεm dεn kin tek ECG bak as pat pan ``strεs tεst`` we dεn de du εksεsayz. yu go don yehri se sohm ``smartwatch`` kin tek ECG naw. Bɔt di bɛst tin fɔ du na fɔ mek dɔktɔ du di rayt ECG ɛn luk bak pan di ripɔt .

Yu go mɔs dɔn yɛri se dɛn kɔl am ECG ɛn EKG. Nɔ wɔri, dɛn na di sem tin . Di wɔd EKG kɔmɔt frɔm di Jaman langwej, usay dɛn yuz di lɛta ‘k’ instead ɔf di lɛta ‘c’.

Impɔtant: Yu tink se ECG (Electrocardiogram) difrɛn frɔm ``Echocardiogram''? ``Echocardiogram'' na ``Ultrasound scan'' fכ di at. I de sho pikchɔ dɛn we de sho aw di at de bit. ECG de luk di ilɛktrik wok we di at de du.

Ɛni kayn ECG de?

Yɛs, difrɛn kayn ECG mashin dɛn de. Dɔktɔ dɛn kin yuz dɛn dipen pan aw lɔng dɛn nid fɔ wach yu at ritm. Dɛn kin du wan tipik ECG na ɔspitul ɔ dɔktɔ in ɔfis. I de rayt di at in ilɛktrik aktiviti fɔ rili shɔt tɛm (bɔku tɛm na lɛk 10 sɛkɔn) . So, imajin if yu gɛt at atak we nɔ kin apin ɔltɛm, bɔt na wan wan tɛm nɔmɔ, yu kin mis am if yu nɔ gɛt ECG wantɛm wantɛm. I tan lɛk se wi os intanɛt go dɔŋ ɛn i de wok fayn te pɔsin kam fɔ fiks am.

So, ɔda kayn ECG de we dɛn kin yuz na tɛm lɛk dis:

• Standard 12-lead ECG: Dis na di kayn we yu go nɔmal fɔ gɛt we yu go si dɔktɔ. Dɛn nɔ go alaw yu fɔ kɛr dis divays go na os.
• Short-tem, wearable monita - e.g. Holter monitor: Dis na smɔl tin. Yu kin wɛr am fɔ 24 ɔ 48 awa . I de kɔntinyu fɔ rayt di ilɛktrik wok we yu at de du we yu de du yu nɔmal tin dɛn we yu de du ɛvride.
• Ivent monita: Dis divaysI gɛt fɔ wɛr am fɔ wan wik ɔ mɔ. We yu gɛt wan sayn (e.g., at atak), yu kin prɛs wan bɔtin ɛn rikodɔ yu at rit da tɛm de.
• Implanted loop recorder: Dis na wan rili smɔl tin we dɔktɔ kin put ɔnda yu skin . Dɛn kin lɛf am na in ples fɔ sɔm ia.
• Exercise ECG (Stress test ECG): Insay dis, dɛn kin kɔnɛkt yu to ECG mashin ɛn dɛn kin tek di ECG we yu de waka pan ``(Treadmill). Dɛn kin du dis fɔ si aw yu at kin biev we yu strɛs.

Ustɛm dɛn kin du ECG?

Dɔktɔ kin disayd fɔ du ECG tɛst fɔ difrɛn rizin dɛn. Di men wan dɛn na fɔ no ɔ kɔnfirm sɔm sik dɛn we pɔsin kin gɛt:

• di at ritm dεm we nכ de rεgulεr (Arrhythmia) כ abnכmaliti dεm na di transmishכn fכ ilektrikal signal dεm.

• Chek if yu dɔn gɛt at atak ɔ yu dɔn gɛt am bifo.
• Chek fɔ si if di at chɛmba dɛn dɔn big.
• Chek fɔ si if yu at pwɛl ɔ if yu at pwɛl.

Dɔn bak, dɔktɔ dɛn kin yuz ECG fɔ:

• Bifo yu du big ɔpreshɔn, mek shɔ se yu at dɔn rɛdi fɔ am.
• If yu de pan big risk fɔ gɛt at sik, chɛk yu at wɛlbɔdi.
• If yu gɛt pesmɛka, si aw i de wok.
• Si aw wan nyu mɛrɛsin fɔ at sik de wok.
• Chek di hat ritm afta hat atak.

Dɔktɔ kin ɔda fɔ mek dɛn du ECG if yu gɛt ɛni wan pan dɛn sayn ya:

• Nɔ ebul fɔ inkrisayz blɔd saplai to di at as nid de we yu de du ɛksɛsayz (Chronotropic incompetence) .

Aw di ECG tɛst de wok?

Yu at gɛt natura l pesmɛka. I de sɛn di ilɛktrik signal we de mek yu at bit. ECG mashin de rikodɔ dis ilɛktrik signal ɛn rayt aw i de travul ɔlsay na yu at, aw di at mɔsul dɛn de kɔntrakt ɛn rilaks, wit ɛni at bit. Dis infɔmeshɔn de sho na kɔmpyuta lɛk wevfɔm (ilɛksɛf na grafik pepa ɔ na skrin) . Dɔktɔ dɛn kin no aw yu at tan bay we dɛn luk am.

Bɔku tɛm, na dɔktɔ we de mɛn di at kin ɔda ɔ du am fɔ mek dɛn du ECG. Bɔt yu kin du am bak na ambulans, imejensi rum, ɔ we yu de go to dɔktɔ ɔltɛm. Yu kin mek dɛn du ECG na dɔktɔ in ɔfis, ɔspitul, ɔ ɔutpeshɛnt klinik.

Aw yu kin pripia fɔ ECG?

Yu kin it ɛn drink nɔmal wan bifo yu du ECG. Bɔt mɛmba dɛn tin ya bifo yu drɛs di de we yu de du yu ECG:

• Nɔ put tin dɛn we gɛt ɔyl ɔ gris pan di skin (krim, loshan) bikɔs di ilɛktrɔd dɛn nɔ go kɔnɛkt fayn to di skin.
• Nɔ wɛr ful-lɛng hosiery, bikɔs dis go mek dɛn nid fɔ tay ilɛktrɔd dɛn na di leg dɛn.
• Wear shit we izi fɔ pul, bikɔs ilɛktrɔd dɛn go tay na yu chɛst.

Wetin kin apin we dɛn du ECG?

wan mεdikal εssistεnt כ nכs go ataya lεk 12 ``εlektrod'' wit sכm sכm adhesive pad dεm na yu chεst, an, εn leg. כltu, siks ``εlektrod'' dεm de atak yu chεst εn siks pan yu an εn leg dεm. di infכmeshכn frכm dεn ``sεns dεm'' dεn de sεnd to di mashin tru ``ways'' כ ``lid.'' na dat mek dεn kכl am ``12-lid ECG.''

Fɔ mek yu gɛt gud kɔnekshɔn, yu go nid fɔ sheb sɔm pan di ia dɛn we de na dɛn say dɛn de. I kin tek lɛk 10 minit fɔ ataya di ilɛktrɔd dɛn ɛn dɔn wan ECG tɛst. Bɔt, dɛn kin rili rayt di tin dɛn we di at de du insay wan rili shɔt tɛm, we na lɛk 10 sɛkɔn.

If yu gɛt ``rɛst ECG'', yu fɔ ledɔm na bed ɛn rilaks. If yu gɛt ``stress test'', yu fɔ waka pan ``treadmill''.

Kɔmpyuta kin mek pikchɔ (ilɛksɛf na grafik pepa ɔ skrin) fɔ di ilɛktrik wev dɛn we de pas na yu at. Yu nɔ go fil ɛni pen ɔ diskɔmfɔt as dɛn de sɛn di infɔmeshɔn to di kɔmpyuta frɔm di ilɛktrɔd dɛn.

Di ilɛktrɔd dɛn go de na yu skin te di ECG tɛst dɔn.

Wetin kin apin afta di ECG?

We di tɛst dɔn, di dɔktɔ ɔ nɔs go pul ɔl di ilɛktrɔd pat dɛn. Afta dat, yu kin du yu nɔmal tin dɛn. I rili simpul, nɔto so?

Wetin di ECG de sho?

we dכkta de luk pan ECG, i de mεnli luk aw bכku ilektrikal aktiviti de, aw i strכng, εn aw bכku tεm de pas bitwin difrεn pat dεm na di ilektrikal wev dεm (`wev כ pik`).

di men pat dεm fכ ECG εn wetin dεn de rid na dεn wan ya:

• di tu כp chεmba dεm na yu at (di `Atria`) - usay di at bit de bigin - de prodyuz di fכs wev, di `P wev` .

Ɛni risk de fɔ dis tɛst?

ECG na tɛst we nɔ gɛt bɔku prɔblɛm. I nɔ min se dɛn de sɛn ɛni raytin ɔ ilɛktrishɔn na yu bɔdi. Yu kin gɛt sɔm rɛd ɛn it we dɛn pul di stika pat dɛn. Oda dan dat, na notin serious. So nid nɔ de fɔ wɔri.

Aw dɛn kin gɛt di rizɔlt? Wetin i se?

Nɔmal, wɛlbɔdi ECG fɔ gɛt kɔnsistɛns, ripit patɛn fɔ wev. Wan smɔl bɔmp (di `P wev`), dɔn wan spayk (di `QRS kɔmpleks`), dɔn wan ɔda smɔl bɔmp (di `T wev`), ɔl na di sem patɛn ɛn di sem tɛm intaval. Dis min se yu at de bit ɔltɛm ɛn ritm.

Abnɔmal wev patɛn na di wangren we fɔ no prɔblɛm. We di dɔktɔ luk di chenj dɛn we de apin na di ECG, i kin no us pat pan di at nɔ de wok fayn ɔ us kayn sik i gɛt. Di we aw di at kin bit kin rili kɔmpleks, ɛn bɔku pat dɛn na di at kin de insay.

Aw lɔng i kin tek fɔ no di tin dɛn we kin apin?

If yu ECG rizɔlt de wantɛm wantɛm, yu dɔktɔ go ebul fɔ tɛl yu mɔ bɔt dɛn wantɛm wantɛm, mɔ if yu nid tritmɛnt kwik kwik wan. Bɔt if dɛn bin du yu ECG as tɛst we dɛn kin du ɔltɛm ɔ as pat pan sɔm tɛst dɛn bifo dɛn du ɔpreshɔn we nɔ gɛt fɔ du wit yu at, i kin tek sɔm dez fɔ gɛt di rizɔlt.

Yu dɔktɔ go kip yu ECG rɛkɔd bak fɔ kɔmpia wit di ECG dɛn we yu go gɛt tumara bambay.

If di tin dɛn we kin apin nɔ kin fayn, wetin yu kin du nɛks?

Wetin fɔ du nɛks de dipen pan di rizin fɔ di ECG.

• Imajin se yu gɛt mashin we de mek yu peshɛnt, ɛn if di ECG sho se i nɔ de wok fayn, di dɔktɔ go chenj di tin dɛn we i de du.
• If di ECG mek pipul dɛn sɔprayz bɔt wan sik, yu dɔktɔ kin aks yu fɔ du ɔda tɛst (e.g., ɛkokadiogram, strɛs tɛst, blɔd tɛst) fɔ kɔnfɔm am.
• If di ECG sho se yu gɛt at sik, yu dɔktɔ kin gi yu di rayt mɛrɛsin, ɔda tritmɛnt dɛn, ɔ ivin ɔpreshɔn.

A nid fɔ go to di dɔktɔ bak?

Yu fɔ rili si yu dɔktɔ bak pan dɛn kayn tin ya:

• Wetin yu go du if i dɔn pas sɔm dez we dɛn dɔn du di ECG ɛn yu nɔ yɛri natin bɔt di rizɔlt?
• If yu simptom dɛm (e.g. chɛst pen, shɔt briz) wɔs pas bifo di ECG.
• If yu gɛt ɛni ɔda kwɛstyɔn bɔt wetin di dɔktɔ se, wetin fɔ du nɛks, ɔ if ɛnitin de we yu nid fɔ klarify.

Fɔ dɔn, mɛmba dis.

Na nɔmal tin fɔ fil smɔl frayd ɛn fred we wi yɛri bɔt at tɛst. Bɔt, yu no naw se ECG (Electrocardiogram) na tɛst we kin rili kwik, we nɔ kin mek pɔsin fil pen, ɛn we rili impɔtant . Di infɔmeshɔn we i de gi kin tɛl yu dɔktɔ bɔku tin bɔt yu at ritm ɛn di wɛlbɔdi na yu at.

Dipen pan di rizulyt fɔ di ECG, yu kin stat di tritmɛnt we yu nid kwik, we go ɛp yu fɔ gɛt wɛlbɔdi ɛn fit. So, nɔ fred fɔ aks yu dɔktɔ ɛni kwɛstyɔn we yu gɛt bɔt di ECG, ilɛksɛf i smɔl. Dɛn de de fɔ ɛp yu.
