Ushwankathelo

I-electrocardiogram luvavanyo olulula, olungenabuhlungu olulinganisa umsebenzi wombane wentliziyo yakho. Ikwabizwa ngokuba yi-ECG okanye i-EKG. Yonke into yokubetha kwentliziyo ibangelwa ngumqondiso wombane oqala phezulu entliziyweni yakho kwaye uhambe uye ezantsi. Iingxaki zentliziyo zihlala zichaphazela umbane wentliziyo yakho. Ugqirha wakho unokucebisa i-EKG ukuba unempawu okanye iimpawu ezinokucebisa ngengxaki yentliziyo, kubandakanya:

• intlungu esifubeni sakho
• ingxaki yokuphefumla
• Ndiziva ndidiniwe okanye ndibuthathaka
• ukubetha, ukubaleka, okanye ukubetha kwentliziyo yakho
• uvakalelo lokuba intliziyo yakho ibetha ngokungalingani
• ukufumanisa izandi ezingaqhelekanga xa ugqirha emamele intliziyo yakho

I-EKG iya kukunceda ugqirha wakho abone unobangela weempawu zakho kunye nokuba loluphi uhlobo lonyango olunokuba yimfuneko.

Ukuba uneminyaka engama-50 okanye ngaphezulu okanye ukuba unembali yosapho yesifo sentliziyo, ugqirha wakho unokuyalela i-EKG ukuba ijonge iimpawu zokuqala zesifo sentliziyo.

Kwenzeka ntoni ngexesha le-electrocardiogram?

I-EKG iyakhawuleza, ayinazintlungu, kwaye ayinabungozi. Emva kokuba utshintshele kwisinxibo, igcisa lincamathisela ii-electrode ezithambileyo ezili-12 ukuya kwezili-15 ngejel esifubeni, ezingalweni nasemilenzeni. Ingcali kuya kufuneka ichebe iindawo ezincinci ukuqinisekisa ukuba ii-electrode zinamathela kakuhle kulusu lwakho. I-electrode nganye imalunga nobungakanani bekota. Ezi electrode ziqhotyoshelwe kwizikhokelo zombane (iingcingo), eziqhotyoshelwe kumatshini we-EKG.

Ngexesha lovavanyo, kuyakufuneka ulale uthe cwaka etafileni ngelixa umatshini erekhoda umsebenzi wombane wentliziyo yakho kwaye abeke ulwazi kwigrafu. Qiniseka ukuba uyaxoka nangoku kwaye uphefumle ngesiqhelo. Akufanele uthethe ngexesha lovavanyo.

Emva kwenkqubo, ii-electrode ziyasuswa kwaye zilahlwe. Yonke le nkqubo ithatha malunga nemizuzu eli-10.

Iindidi zeeelectrocardiograms

I-EKG irekhoda umfanekiso wentsebenzo yombane wentliziyo yakho ngeli xesha ubekwe esweni. Nangona kunjalo, ezinye iingxaki zentliziyo ziza zidlule. Kule meko, unokufuna ukubeka esweni ixesha elide okanye ngakumbi.

Uvavanyo loxinzelelo

Ezinye iingxaki zentliziyo zibonakala kuphela ngexesha lokuzilolonga. Ngexesha lokuvavanywa koxinzelelo, uya kuba ne-EKG ngelixa uzilolonga. Ngokwesiqhelo, olu vavanyo lwenziwa ngelixa ukwitreadmill okanye ibhayisekile emileyo.

Ukubeka iliso kwiHolter

Ikwabizwa ngokuba yi-ECG ye-ambulensi okanye esweni i-EKG, esweni i-Holter ibhala imisebenzi yentliziyo yakho ngaphezulu kweeyure ezingama-24 ukuya kwezingama-48 ngelixa ugcina idayari yomsebenzi wakho ukunceda ugqirha wakho abone unobangela weempawu zakho. Ii-Electrode eziqhotyoshelwe kulwazi lwerekhodi yesifuba sakho kwisiphatho esiphathwayo, esisebenza ngebhetri onokuthi usiphathe epokothweni, ibhanti, okanye umtya wegxalaba.

Ushicilelo lomsitho

Iimpawu ezingenzeki rhoqo kunokufuna ukurekhodwa komsitho. Kuyafana nokujonga esweni i-Holter, kodwa irekhoda intsebenzo yombane wentliziyo yakho xa iimpawu zisenzeka. Abanye abarekhodi bemicimbi bayasebenza ngokuzenzekelayo xa bebona iimpawu. Ezinye izinto ezirekhodisha umsitho zifuna ukuba ucofe iqhosha xa uziva iimpawu. Ungathumela ulwazi ngqo kugqirha wakho ngaphezulu komnxeba.

Zeziphi iingozi ezibandakanyekileyo?

Bambalwa, ukuba bukhona, umngcipheko onxulumene ne-EKG. Abanye abantu banokufumana irhashalala apho kubekwe khona ii-electrode, kodwa oku kuhlala kudlula ngaphandle konyango.

Abantu abenza uvavanyo loxinzelelo banokuba semngciphekweni wokuhlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo, kodwa oku kunxulumene nomsebenzi, hayi i-EKG.

I-EKG imane ibeke esweni umsebenzi wombane wentliziyo yakho. Ayikhuphi nawuphi na umbane kwaye ikhuselekile ngokupheleleyo.

Ukulungiselela i-EKG yakho

Kunqabe ukusela amanzi abandayo okanye ukwenza umthambo ngaphambi kwe-EKG yakho. Ukusela amanzi abandayo kunokubangela utshintsho kwiipateni zombane ezirekhodwa kuvavanyo. Ukuzivocavoca umzimba kunokunyusa izinga lokubetha kwentliziyo yakho kwaye kuchaphazele iziphumo zovavanyo.

Ukutolika iziphumo ze-EKG

Ukuba i-EKG yakho ibonisa iziphumo eziqhelekileyo, ugqirha wakho uya kubahamba kunye nabo kutyelelo olulandelayo.

Ugqirha wakho uya kuqhagamshelana nawe ngokukhawuleza ukuba i-EKG yakho ibonisa iimpawu zeengxaki zempilo.

I-EKG inokunceda ugqirha wakho amisele ukuba:

• Intliziyo yakho ibetha kakhulu, icotha kakhulu, okanye ayifani
• unesifo sentliziyo okanye ngaphambili ubukhe wahlaselwa yintliziyo
• uneziphene zentliziyo, kubandakanya eyandisiweyo intliziyo, ukungabikho kwegazi, okanye iziphene zokuzalwa
• uneengxaki ngezivalo zentliziyo yakho
• uvimbe imithambo, okanye isifo semithambo

Ugqirha wakho uya kusebenzisa iziphumo ze-EKG yakho ukumisela ukuba ngaba nawaphi na amayeza okanye unyango olunokuyiphucula imeko yentliziyo yakho.
