Understanding ECG with Aidlab

ECG (or EKG) measures the electrical signals that control your heartbeats. Aidlab records these signals and presents them as a graph, giving you and your doctor insight into your heart’s rhythm and performance.

Aidlab classifies heartbeats into:

• Normal
• Ventricular ectopic beats
• Premature atrial contractions
• Fusion beats
• Noise

It also classifies heart rhythms as:

• Normal rhythm
• Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
• Tachycardia (fast heart rate)
• Atrial fibrillation

Important: Aidlab does not provide automatic ECG interpretation. The rhythm classifications and findings are informational only and must be reviewed and interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional.

What an ECG can reveal

An ECG can show:

• If your heart is beating at a normal rate and rhythm
• Signs of arrhythmias
• Electrical abnormalities that could suggest heart disease

However, an ECG taken with Aidlab is a screening tool and should not replace a professional medical evaluation.

Important information

• Aidlab does not detect heart attacks. If you experience chest pain, pressure, shortness of breath, or symptoms of a heart attack, call emergency services immediately.
• Always consult your doctor before making changes to your medications or treatment plan.
