A Comparative Study of Real-time ECG Monitoring and ECG Drawing

Time : 2023-07-30

The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body, and heart disease is one of the major diseases currently threatening human health. As a non-invasive examination method, electrocardiogram plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. With the advancement of science and technology, real-time ECG monitoring technology has gradually replaced the traditional ECG chart recording method and has become a more convenient and accurate ECG monitoring method.

Advantages of real-time ECG monitoring

Real-time ECG monitoring technology is a new type of monitoring equipment based on the principle of electrocardiogram, which can continuously record and analyze patients' ECG signals. Compared with traditional ECG chart recording methods, real-time ECG monitoring has the following advantages:
1. Efficient and accurate: The real-time ECG monitoring equipment can record ECG signals in real time, and obtain the results through computer analysis, which greatly shortens the diagnosis time and improves the accuracy.
2. Real-time monitoring: Traditional ECG chart records need to convert ECG signals into paper records, which often takes a certain amount of time to complete, and cannot meet the real-time monitoring needs in emergency situations. The real-time ECG monitoring equipment can display and record the shape of the ECG in real time, and detect abnormalities in time.
3. Convenience: Real-time ECG monitoring devices are usually small, lightweight and portable devices that patients can carry on their body for monitoring at any time. This is very convenient for long-term monitoring or specific groups of people who need to be monitored.

Advantages of EKG Drawings

Although real-time ECG monitoring has many advantages, ECG drawings still have some value. The traditional ECG chart recording method has the following advantages:

1. Visual analysis tools: ECG drawings can display the electrical activity of the heart in a graphical way, which is convenient for doctors to conduct visual analysis of the heart state, and provides strong support for the detection and evaluation of heart lesions.
2. Comparison of historical data: By collecting multiple ECG records, doctors can compare and analyze the patient's heart status and course of disease, judge the development trend of the disease, and formulate more effective treatment plans.

With its advantages of high efficiency, accuracy, real-time monitoring and convenience, real-time ECG monitoring technology has gradually replaced the traditional ECG chart recording method. However, the traditional way of ECG chart recording still has some value, especially in terms of visual analysis and comparison of historical data. Therefore, while applying real-time ECG monitoring technology, we should still retain and carry forward the traditional ECG drawing recording method, and choose the appropriate method according to the specific situation, so as to better serve the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease patients.
