Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmia:

This device can identify potential disruptions of the heart

rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this

after the measurement with the symbol

.

This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an

illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of

flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heart-

beat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats,

pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors such

as heart disease, age, physical make-up, excess stimulants,

stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be determined

through an examination by your doctor.
