The ECG Check is now available to enable patients to record their heart rhythm anytime, anywhere and have it automatically analyzed for arrhythmias. The ECG Check, which makes cardiac rhythm analysis quick and easy, is convenient, portable, and is enhancing the way people’s heart rhythms are screened and monitored. It’s as easy as placing one’s fingers on the sensors and relaxing; there are no adhesive electrodes or special devices needed. Because it wraps conveniently around the iPhone, the ECG Check monitor remains with the user at all times and ensures availability whenever and wherever the need arises. ECG readings can be instantly recorded, stored on the iPhone, transmitted to and analyzed by the ECG Check Web Center, and results are returned in seconds. When prescribed by a physician, the ECG can even be displayed real-time on the iPhone screen during the recording.
