Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disorders
during measurement and if necessary indicates the measurement
with the flashing icon
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condition
where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects in the
bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The symptoms
.
(omitted or premature heart beats, slow or excessively fast heart
rate) may be caused, among other things, by heart disease, age,
physical predisposition, excessive use of stimulants, stress or
lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be ascertained through ex-
amination by your doctor.
