PQRST ECG Interpretation Heart Rhythm ECG Monitor Bluetooth
ECG Monitor is a high precision medical, wearable, holter, bluetooth device. App can analyze heart rhythm & pqrst complex in ‘Cardiac‘ & ‘Heart‘ mode.
The device can capture ECG or EKG waveform and run in ‘REAL-TIME’. It is built for iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone and tablet.
There is a built-in 16-bit ADC to captures your ECG data. The app will store the data on your cell phone or tablet with build in ecg interpretation function.
iPhone and iPad: The ADC can measure maximum 384 sampling per second (sps).
Android and tablet: The ADC can measure maximum 512 sampling per second (sps).
It can detect and analyze your abnormal ECG or heart rate. You can send the captured data to your client (e.g. physician, family doctor, members or friends) for further analysis.
The app can measure the followings:-
Beat per minute (bpm)
Beat per second (bps)
Analysis ECG or EKG signals
Heart Rate Variability
Heart Rate Turbulence
ST and QT Analysis
AC/DC Analysis
T-Wave Alternans (TWA)
Users can download the software at Apple Store and Google Market. It is a freeware with lifetime upgrade.

48 Hours Holter Monitor
A Holter monitor is a battery-operated portable device to track your heart rhythm.
ECG Monitor can measures and records your heart’s activity (ECG) continuously for 24 to 48 hours or longer.
ECG Monitor
The following heart signals will be measured by ‘Cardiac’ or ‘Heart’ mode via Bluetooth (BT4):-
- Heart Beat – bpm or bps
- HRT – Heart Rate Turbulence
- ST – ST Segment Analysis
- QTc – QT Analysis
- AC / DC – Acceleration and Deceleration Capacity
- HRV – Heart Rate Variability
- TWA – T-Wave Alternans

Cardiac / Three Leads Electrode Mode Setup
Cardiac Mode
Cardiac mode is that three lead electrodes are attached to your body. This configuration is designed to track the shape of ECG waveform.
- LA – Place LA electrode to your left shoulder
- RA – Place RA electrode to your right shoulder
- RL – Place RL electrode to your right hip

ecgMonitor Realtime ECG Galaxy Grand Prime
Heart Mode
Heart mode is that the ECG Monitor will be placed next to your heart. You can do exercise and wear an ECG Monitor to track the ECG waveform.
- Wipe an elastic belt around your chest area.
- Place the ECG Monitor between the elastic and at the center of the chest.
Accuracy: ‘Heart’ mode obtain a less accurate result than ‘Cardiac’ mode.
Because the device distance from the heart is smaller, the heart signal is stronger.
There is a muscle artifact. The muscle artifact will produce a distortion result.
Sudden Cardiac Death
Sudden Cardiac Death is a sudden, unexpected death. A change in heart rhythm of sudden cardiac arrest will cause death. Sudden Cardiac Death occurs in a short period within 1 hour of time. The person has a known or unknown cardiac disease.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Sudden cardiac arrest occurs. The electrical system of the heart is malfunctions. The heart rhythm becomes irregular. Heart beats fast. Blood is not delivered to the body.
There is the greatest concern. The blood flow to the brain will reduce in the first few minutes. A person will lose consciousness. Death follows unless emergency treatment begins.
A heart attack is a “circulation” problem. Sudden cardiac arrest is an “electrical” problem.
Sudden cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function in a person. He or she may or may not have been diagnosed with heart disease. It can come on suddenly, or in the wake of other symptoms. Sudden cardiac arrest is often fatal if appropriate steps aren’t taken immediately.
Heart Attack
Let’s say that you’re stuck in traffic and cars are backed up as far as you can see. It turns out there’s an accident blocking traffic lanes.
This is similar to what happens during a heart attack. Heart Attack is also known as myocardial infarction (MI).
Blood flow to the heart muscle is obstructed. The heart muscle is leading to a loss of blood supply (ischemia). Death is a result for heart tissue.
A heart attack occurs. When an artery supplying your heart with blood and oxygen becomes blocked. Fatty deposits build up over time, forming plaques in your heart’s arteries. If a plaque ruptures, a blood clot can form. The clot block your arteries, causing a heart attack.

Chest Pain
Heart or blood vessel problems that can cause chest pain. e.g. Heart Attack.
The most common symptom is chest pain. It may feel like tightness, heavy pressure, squeezing, or crushing pain. Swelling (inflammation) in the sac that surrounds the heart (pericarditis) causes pain in the center part of the chest.
When your heart muscle doesn’t get enough oxygen-rich blood, heart attack caused chest pain or discomfort. It may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. The discomfort also can occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.
