What is a 6-Lead ECG?
How Withings ECG Monitor obtains an ECG:
- An ECG, or electrocardiogram, is the graphical representation
of the electrical activity of the heart. With each heartbeat,
an electrical wave travels through your heart. This wave causes
your heart to contract and pump blood.
- In a doctor's office, a standard 12-lead ECG is usually taken b
by placing electrodes on your arms, legs, and torso. A lead
measures the difference of electric potential between a pair of
electrodes. Each lead measures this from a different angle.
- The Withings ECG Monitor uses electrodes from the Withings
Body Scan to record a 6-lead ECG. Electrodes are in contact
with the hands and feet.
- A 6-lead ECG is able to provide information about heart rate
and certain heart rhythms: Sinus rhythm and Atrial Fibrillation
(AFib). 6-lead ECGs are sometimes prescribed by doctors for
people to wear at home or within the hospital so that the
doctor can get a better look at the underlying rate and rhythm
of the heart.
ECG Outputs
ECG classification:
After an ECG recording, you will see one of the following classifi-
cations for the recording:
- Low Heart Rate (heart rate < 50 bpm)
- High Heart Rate (heart rate > 150 bpm)
- Sinus Rhythm (heart rate between 50-99 bpm)
- High Heart Rate (No signs of AFib)
(heart rate between 100-150 bpm)
- Atrial Fibrillation (heart rate between 50-99 bpm)
- Atrial Fibrillation — High Heart Rate
(heart rate between 100-150 bpm)
- Inconclusive
- Poor Recording
After the ECG recording you will also see your average heart rate
and your ECG tracing.
