during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.

What is Arrhythmia?

A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the heart to contract.

Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal due to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives the heartbeat. Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats, premature contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can be caused by heart disease, aging, physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a doctor through a special examination.

Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol

( ) in the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be determined by an examination and diagnosis by your doctor.

If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown frequently, please make your doctor aware of it. Conducting self-diagnosis and treatment based on measurement results is dangerous. Be sure to follow the instructions of your doctor.
