Even healthy hearts sometimes get out of sync, beat faster or stumble. However, if the arrhythmia is new, more frequent or lasts longer than a few seconds, if we feel dizzy or in pain, then an examination is advisable.

An ECG is a good way of identifying the type of cardiac arrhythmia. In many cases, however, cardiac arrhythmias only occur sporadically and cannot be "caught" at the moment of measurement. In these cases, the patient is given a long-term ECG to take home.

With the two long-term ECG devices medilogAR and medilogFD and the analysis software medilog DARWIN2, SCHILLER offers precisely these products, which are needed to assess a heart over several hours or days in order to detect even rare cardiac arrhythmias.

In the article from the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland, you can find out from Cardiology Director Prof. Dr. med. Frank Ruschitzka what to do when the heart gets out of sync.
