1.5 Reading Your ECG Result

When the ECG recording is finished, the results are displayed on the downloaded "OMRON connect" app as:
Possible Afib (possible atrial fibrillation), Bradycardia, Tachycardia, Normal, Unreadable or Unclassified.
Note
• Other than Possible Afib, Bradycardia, Tachycardia, Normal, Unclassified and Unreadable, ECG error messages may appear on the app
due to some reasons such as a shortage of recording time, too noisy to interpret or etc. If it appears, follow the suggestions on the app.
• You must download and follow up instructions for setting up the app.
Atrial Fibrillation detector
The Atrial Fibrillation detector detects possible atrial fibrillation in an ECG tracing. After you record an ECG, if possible atrial
fibrillation is detected you will be notified as Possible Afib, within the app. This finding is not a diagnosis, it is only a potential
finding for the recorded ECG. You should contact your physician to review any ECG recording in which possible atrial
fibrillation was detected. If you are experiencing any symptoms or concerns contact a medical professional.
Atrial fibrillation means the most common type of non-sinus tachyarrhythmia. In atrial fibrillation, disorganized electrical
impulses that originate in the atria and pulmonary veins initiate the electrical activity in the conduction system of the heart.
This causes what are commonly termed as "irregularly irregular" heart beats.
When a heart is in atrial fibrillation, its two upper chambers, the right and left atria, essentially quiver instead of beating
efficiently.
This does not allow for complete emptying of the atria and thus blood may become stagnant and create blood clots.
This can lead to major health problems, including strokes, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), and pulmonary emboli
(PEs); depending which chamber of the heart has the blood clot in it.
Approximately 15 percent of strokes occur in people with atrial fibrillation. As age increases in a population, so too does the
incidence of atrial fibrillation, which peaks at about 3-5 % in people over the age of 65.
