What is a 6-Lead ECG?

How Withings ECG Monitor obtains an ECG:
FR
- An ECG, or electrocardiogram, is the graphical representation
DE
of the electrical activity of the heart� With each heartbeat,
SV
an electrical wave travels through your heart� This wave causes
NL
your heart to contract and pump blood�
FI
- In a doctor's office, a standard 12-lead ECG is usually taken b
DA
by placing electrodes on your arms, legs, and torso� A lead
IT
measures the difference of electric potential between a pair of
ES
electrodes� Each lead measures this from a different angle�
CS
- The Withings ECG Monitor uses electrodes from the Withings
PL
Body Scan to record a 6-lead ECG� Electrodes are in contact
PT
with the hands and feet�
RO
- A 6-lead ECG is able to provide information about heart rate
HU and certain heart rhythms: Sinus rhythm and Atrial Fibrillation
(AFib)� 6-lead ECGs are sometimes prescribed by doctors for
SK
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�

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�

Low Heart Rate
FR
A Low Heart Rate result means your heart
DE
is beating less than 50 beats per minute
SV
(bpm)� This recording cannot be classified
NL
by Withings ECG Monitor�
FI
A low heart rate can happen if electrical
DA
signals are not properly conducted
IT
through the heart� Some medicines can
ES
also cause a low heart rate� Some elite
CS
athletes may also have a low heart rate�

SK
High Heart Rate
A High Heart Rate result means your
heart is beating above 150 beats per
minute (bpm)� This recording cannot be
classified by Withings ECG Monitor�
Many different things can cause a high
heart rate� A heart rate may be high
because of exercise, stress, dehydration,
infection, AFib, another arrhythmia or
another cause�
