Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Indicator
Irregular Heartbeat Symbol (
)
The appliance can detect irregular heartbeats.
When the appliance detects an irregular rhythm two 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.
