What Makes Stress Test Electrodes Different?

Understanding Stress Test Electrodes by Samantha TilkinsA stress test is a commonly used diagnostic tool to assess how well your heart functions under physical exertion. The test typically involves physical activity, such as walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike, and helps determine if your heart is getting enough blood, if your symptoms can be reproduced with activity, and how your heart compares to others your age and sex. It also provides insight into potential issues with valves, blood supply, or electrical stability.Stress Test BasicsDuring a stress test, healthcare providers monitor several vital signs: heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and ECG data. These measurements help evaluate how your heart responds to increased activity. Electrodes are placed on the skin to capture the heart’s electrical signals. These are…

The Silent Killer – How ECGs Detect Hidden Heart Attacks

General Health, NMHS, Patient Monitoring

By Anna Dwyer Nearly half of heart attacks strike silently, causing heart damage without noticeable symptoms. These cases are just limited to the older generation. Even young, healthy individuals are at risk of silent, but deadly cardiovascular risks. 1 in 5 heart attack patients are under 40, and cases such as these are rising. Cardiovascular monitoring is essential for catching cardiovascular problems before they arise. The Silent Threat of Heart Attacks What is a silent heart attack? Silent heart attacks have few or no recognizable heart attack symptoms. Common symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath may not be experienced or may be misdiagnosed during a silent heart attack, meaning that most people may not even realize they are experiencing is a heart attack. Like any heart attack,…

ECG, General Health, NMHS, Patient Monitoring

What are Hypoallergenic ECG Electrodes?For those patients with fragile or sensitive skin, sticking any device to their skin can cause irritation. While looking for a gentle ECG electrode, there are many buzz words used. Unfortunately in the case of the word ‘hypoallergenic’ the FDA has no regulation on its meaning.While “Allergen-Free” and “Hypoallergenic” are enticing terms that are commonly used in marketing, with no regulation they have no real meaning. So let’s dig in to what each of these buzz words can mean.Allergen-Free ElectrodesNothing can be truly “allergen-free” since even the most elemental or basic ingredients can technically cause an allergic reaction to somebody. The term is commonly used when common allergens (latex, certain dyes/fragrances, or metals) are avoided. When finding an electrode that is the best for sensitive skin,…

Defibrillation Pads: Essential Tools for Saving Lives

General Health, Patient Monitoring

By Amy Jeary Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death worldwide, claiming millions of lives each year. But with early defibrillation, delivering an electric shock to restore the heart's normal rhythm, can significantly increase the chances of survival. And that's where defibrillation pads come in. What are defibrillation pads? Defibrillation pads are adhesive electrodes placed on a person's chest during cardiac arrest. They work by conducting an electric current from a defibrillator to the heart. This current can help to reset the heart's electrical rhythm and restore normal function. How do defibrillation pads work? When attached to a defibrillator, the pads deliver an electric shock to the heart. The shock disrupts the heart's abnormal rhythm, allowing the electrical signals to travel through the heart more efficiently and…
