Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Indicator
Irregular Heartbeat Symbol (
)
The appliance can detect irregular heartbeats.
When the appliance detects an irregular rhythm twice or more
times during the measurement, the irregular heartbeat Symbol
will appear on the display with the measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that varies
by more than 25% from the average rhythm detected during the
measurement.
If the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol displays often with your
measurement results, we recommend you consult your doctor.
Arrhythmia
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal
because of defects in the electrical stimulation of the heart.
Typical symptoms are: skipped heartbeats, premature contraction,
too rapid pulse (tachycardia - atrial fibrillation) or too slow pulse
(bradycardia).
A frequent appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol could
indicate arrhythmia but this can only be determined by your
doctor through a specific test.
Self-diagnosis and self treatment are always dangerous, consult
your doctor.
