Ukubuka konke

I-electrocardiogram isivivinyo esilula, esingenabuhlungu esikala umsebenzi kagesi wenhliziyo yakho. Yaziwa nangokuthi i-ECG noma i-EKG. Konke ukushaya kwenhliziyo kudalwa yisiginali kagesi eqala phezulu enhliziyweni yakho bese iya phansi. Izinkinga zenhliziyo zivame ukuthinta umsebenzi kagesi wenhliziyo yakho. Udokotela wakho angancoma i-EKG uma uhlangabezana nezimpawu noma izimpawu ezingaphakamisa inkinga yenhliziyo, kufaka phakathi:

• ubuhlungu esifubeni sakho
• inkinga yokuphefumula
• ukuzizwa ukhathele noma ubuthakathaka
• ukushaya ngamandla, ukugijima, noma ukushaya kwenhliziyo yakho
• umuzwa wokuthi inhliziyo yakho ishaya ngokungalingani
• ukuthola imisindo engajwayelekile lapho udokotela wakho elalela inhliziyo yakho

I-EKG izosiza udokotela wakho ukuthola imbangela yezimpawu zakho nokuthi hlobo luni lwezokwelapha olungadingeka.

Uma uneminyaka engama-50 noma ngaphezulu noma uma unomlando womndeni wesifo senhliziyo, udokotela wakho angaphinde ayale i-EKG ukuthi ibheke izimpawu zokuqala zesifo senhliziyo.

Kwenzekani ngesikhathi se-electrocardiogram?

I-EKG iyashesha, ayibuhlungu, futhi ayinabungozi. Ngemuva kokushintsha ube yigown, uchwepheshe unamathisela ama-electrode athambile ayi-12 kuye kwayi-15 ijeli esifubeni, ezingalweni nasemilenzeni. Uchwepheshe kungadingeka ukuthi aphuce izindawo ezincane ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ama-electrode anamathela kahle esikhumbeni sakho. I-electrode ngayinye icishe ilingane nekota. La ma-electrode anamathiselwe kwimikhombandlela kagesi (izintambo), bese zinamathiselwa emshinini we-EKG.

Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa, kuzodingeka ulale unganyakazi etafuleni ngenkathi umshini uqopha umsebenzi kagesi wenhliziyo yakho bese ubeka imininingwane kwigrafu. Qiniseka ukuthi uqamba amanga uthule ngangokunokwenzeka futhi uphefumule ngokwejwayelekile. Akufanele ukhulume ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa.

Ngemuva kwenqubo, ama-electrode ayasuswa alahlwe. Yonke inqubo ithatha cishe imizuzu eyi-10.

Izinhlobo zama-electrocardiograms

I-EKG iqopha isithombe somsebenzi kagesi wenhliziyo yakho ngesikhathi obhekiwe ngaso. Kodwa-ke, ezinye izinkinga zenhliziyo ziyafika zidlule. Kulezi zimo, ungahle udinge ukuqapha okude noma okukhethekile.

Ukuhlolwa kwengcindezi

Ezinye izinkinga zenhliziyo zivele kuphela ngesikhathi sokuzivocavoca umzimba. Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kwengcindezi, uzoba ne-EKG ngenkathi uvivinya umzimba. Ngokuvamile, lokhu kuhlolwa kwenziwa ngenkathi uku-treadmill noma ibhayisikili elimile.

Ukuqapha kweHolter

Eyaziwa nangokuthi i-ECG noma i-EKG yokuqapha, i-Holter monitor iqopha umsebenzi wenhliziyo yakho ngaphezu kwamahora angama-24 kuye kwangama-48 ngenkathi ugcina idayari yomsebenzi wakho ukusiza udokotela wakho abone imbangela yezimpawu zakho. Ama-electrode anamathiselwe emininingwaneni yokuqoshwa kwesifuba sakho kumqapha ophathekayo, osebenza ngebhethri ongawuthwala ephaketheni lakho, ebhandeni lakho, noma ebhandeni.

Isiqophi somcimbi

Izimpawu ezingenzeki kaningi zingadinga ukuqoshwa komcimbi. Iyafana ne-Holter monitor, kepha iqopha umsebenzi kagesi wenhliziyo yakho lapho kuvela izimpawu. Abanye abaqopha imicimbi basebenza ngokuzenzakalela lapho bethola izimpawu. Abanye abaqopha imicimbi badinga ukuthi ucindezele inkinobho lapho uzwa izimpawu. Ungathumela imininingwane ngqo kudokotela wakho ngocingo.

Yiziphi izingozi ezihilelekile?

Zimbalwa, uma zikhona, izingozi ezihlobene ne-EKG. Abanye abantu bangabhekana nokuqubuka kwesikhumba lapho kufakwa khona ama-electrode, kepha lokhu kuvame ukuphela ngaphandle kokwelashwa.

Abantu abenza ukuhlolwa kwengcindezi bangaba sengozini yokuhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo, kepha lokhu kuhlobene nokuzivocavoca umzimba, hhayi i-EKG.

I-EKG imane iqaphe umsebenzi kagesi wenhliziyo yakho. Akukhiphi ugesi futhi kuphephe ngokuphelele.

Ukulungela i-EKG yakho

Gwema ukuphuza amanzi abandayo noma ukuzivocavoca ngaphambi kwe-EKG yakho. Ukuphuza amanzi abandayo kungadala ushintsho emaphethini kagesi amarekhodi okuhlola. Ukuzivocavoca umzimba kungakhuphula izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo yakho futhi kuthinte imiphumela yokuhlolwa.

Ukuhumusha imiphumela ye-EKG

Uma i-EKG yakho ikhombisa imiphumela ejwayelekile, udokotela wakho kungenzeka ahambe nayo lapho evakashela ukulandela.

Udokotela wakho uzokuthinta ngokushesha uma i-EKG yakho ikhombisa izimpawu zezinkinga ezinkulu zempilo.

I-EKG ingasiza udokotela wakho ukuthi anqume ukuthi:

• inhliziyo yakho ishaya kakhulu, ihamba kancane kakhulu, noma ngokungafani
• uhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo noma wake wahlaselwa yinhliziyo phambilini
• unezinkinga zenhliziyo, kufaka phakathi inhliziyo ekhulisiwe, ukungabi khona kwegazi, noma ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa
• unezinkinga ngamavalvu enhliziyo yakho
• uvimbe imithambo yegazi, noma isifo semithambo yenhliziyo

Udokotela wakho uzosebenzisa imiphumela ye-EKG yakho ukuthola ukuthi ikhona yini imishanguzo noma ukwelashwa okungasithuthukisa isimo senhliziyo yakho.
