Cardiac arrhythmia:
This unit can identify potential disruption of the heart rhythm
when measuring and if necessary, indicates this after the
measurement with the symbol
for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an illness in which the heart
rhythm is abnormal because of flaws in the bioelectrical
system that regulates the heartbeat. 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. Ar-
rhythmia can only be determined through an examination by
your doctor. If the symbol
the measurement has been taken, it should be repeated.
