Abstract:
The human heart beats billions in an average life, but like any other organ, at some point, it can have certain diseases. Some of these may be due to poor nutrition and lifestyle, and others may be genetic in nature. Among the heart diseases, the most common are arrhythmias, which are disorders of the normal contraction of the heart or, in other words, disorders of the normal rhythm of the heart. Arrhythmias fall into two categories, tachycardias, ie too fast a rhythm, greater than 100 beats per minute, and brachycardias, ie too slow a heart rate, less than 60 beats per minute. The recording of an EKG, respectively of the electrical activity of the heart, provides the most important information about the heart rhythm of the heart. Heart rate control can be done with the help of various digital devices such as portable electrocardiograph, heart rate monitor and even with the help of smartphone, etc. In this paper, we aimed to familiarize students with the measurement of cardiac potential, by making electrocardiograms, with portable devices such as portable ECG monitor PM10 and pulse determination with the CMS50D + Pulse Oximeter. Lifestyle disorders can be prevented by educating the population about risk factors.
