What is Irregular Heartbeat?
An irregular heartbeat is a
heartbeat rhythm that varies by
more than 25% from the average
heartbeat rhythm detected while
the unit is measuring the systolic
and diastolic blood pressure.
If such an irregular rhythm is
detected more than twice during
measurement, the irregular
heartbeat symbol ( ) appears on the symbol when the
measurement results are displayed.
What is Arrhythmia?
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the heart
to contract.
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal
due to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives the heartbeat.
Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats, premature contraction,
an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or slow (bradycardia) pulse. This
can be caused by heart disease, aging, physical predisposition,
stress, lack of sleep, fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed
by a doctor through a special examination.
Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) in
the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be determined by
an examination and diagnosis by your doctor.
Warning:
If the Irregular heartbeat symbol
() is shown frequently, please
make your doctor aware of it. Conducting self-diagnosis and
treatment based on measurement results are dangerous. Be sure to
follow the instructions of your doctor.
