New Developments in Cardiology Probes

Cardiac ultrasounds, or electrocardiograms, utilize sonography to create detailed images of the heart and capture the complex patterns in which its valves and chambers move. M-mode ultrasound, also referred to as mobile mode or time-motion ultrasound echoes a stationary transducer beam from the reflector of a movable probe.

ECG Monitors

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a non-invasive method of measuring the electrical activity of the heart over time, using electrodes that are attached to the surface of the skin. Twelve-lead ECGs are used to record cardiac electrical activity at a specific point in time and are generally printed to create a permanent record. ECGs that use 3 or 5 leads are commonly used for continuous recording of cardiac activity in ambulances, during surgery and/or when patients are receiving anesthesia, and to monitor critically ill patients.
