atrial fibrillation: normal heart rhythm


Explanation:
ECG technology is used to diagnose an arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, namely the electrical activity of the heart and check whether treatments for the abnormal heart rhythm are working.

What are the Differences Between ECG and Heart Rate?
While ECG and heart rate are related, they are not the same thing. ECG measures the electrical activity of your heart, while heart rate measures how fast your heart is beating. ECG can detect abnormalities in your heart’s electrical activity, while heart rate can give you an idea of how hard your heart is working. ECG is a diagnostic test, while heart rate is a measure of your heart’s function.

Why is it Important to Understand the Differences?
Understanding the differences between ECG and heart rate is important for your heart health. If you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, your doctor may recommend an ECG to diagnose any underlying heart conditions. If you are monitoring your heart health, tracking your heart rate can give you an idea of how hard your heart is working during exercise or other activities. By understanding the differences between ECG and heart rate, you can take a more active role in your heart health.

People with atrial fibrillation have two main treatment options: Treatment to restore their heart rhythm or treatment to control their heart rate. Studies have shown that there are no differences between these treatment approaches in terms of life expectancy and the risk of developing medical conditions associated with atrial fibrillation.

Treatment for atrial fibrillation can either aim to restore a normal heart rhythm or control the heart rate. The heart rate is the number of heartbeats per minute (pulse). The heart rhythm is the pattern of electrical impulses that make the heart muscle squeeze and pump. These electrical impulses can be seen as electrical activity in an ECG (electrocardiogram).
