We would like to talk about the new features of the latest electrocardiogram testing device "Fukuda Cardimax9 (FX-8322/8400 series)" that we have introduced at our clinic.
Actually, the latestAI (artificial intelligence) technology This has made it possible to predict the risk of cerebral infarction, which was difficult to detect with conventional electrocardiogram tests.
Why is “atrial fibrillation” scary?
Atrial fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia that causes the heart to tremble and become irregular. The biggest risk is that a blood clot (thrombus) forms in the heart and travels to the brain, causing a cerebral infarction.
Cerebral infarction caused by atrial fibrillation is characterized by a wide range of areas and a tendency to become more severe. However, this arrhythmia has the troublesome property of occurring only occasionally (paroxysmal), and is often judged to be normal by an electrocardiogram that takes just 10 seconds at a hospital.
AI predicts “future risks”
Our clinicCardimax9 is equipped with the latest analysis program using AI.
- Predicting the “future” from the current waveform: Even if the rhythm is normal for 10 seconds during the test, AI analyzes the minute characteristics of the waveform and detects the risk of atrial fibrillation occurring in the future.
Steps for peace of mind: From Cardimax9 to Holter ECG
If AI determines that there is a risk, our clinic will use"Holter electrocardiogram (24-hour electrocardiogram)" We recommend that you step up.
Please feel free to contact us if this is the case.
Atrial fibrillation tends to increase with age. In particular, if the following apply to you, we recommend that you take an AI electrocardiogram at least once.
- Sometimes I feel like my heart is pounding and my pulse is racing.
- Have you ever been told to "follow up" during a health checkup?
- Have a chronic disease such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity
- Does your family have atrial fibrillation or cerebral infarction?
With the help of AI, you can assess your risk of stroke before it's too late. If you think this might be the case, please feel free to consult your doctor.
