Cardiotachometry

Cardiotachometry (from the Greek kardía - heart and tachós - speed) is a method for studying cardiac activity, based on measuring the frequency and duration of heart contractions (the intervals between them). Cardiotachometry is one of the most common methods of functional diagnostics of the cardiovascular system. It allows you to evaluate the work of the heart at rest and during physical activity, as well as identify possible rhythm and conduction disturbances. To carry out cardiotachometry, special equipment is used - a cardiac monitor, which records the electrical impulses that occur in the heart with each contraction. The obtained data is processed using a computer, which allows you to obtain information about the heart rate, the duration of the intervals between beats, the presence of arrhythmias and other disorders. Cardiotachometry is carried out both on an outpatient basis and in a hospital. It can be made in the form of a regular recording on paper tape or in digital format. Depending on the purpose of the study, cardiotachometry can be performed both in healthy people and in patients with various heart diseases. Thus, cardiotachometry is a simple and accessible method that allows you to assess the condition of the heart and identify possible problems. It is widely used in medical practice and allows you to promptly identify possible heart diseases and take measures to treat or prevent them.


Cardiotachometric diagnostics is a method for determining heart rate within one second. This helps doctors and patients evaluate their cardiovascular health and identify possible heart problems.

Cardiotachometaria is used to measure the heart rate in the intervals between beats, called the "P-P second." This method is an integral part of electrocardiography (ECG) and allows you to quickly and effectively monitor cardiac function.

It is important to understand that without cardiotachometry it is impossible to accurately diagnose many cardiovascular diseases, including arrhythmias, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure and others.

When an ECG is performed, doctors measure various parameters of the heart, such as heart rate, wave amplitude, and intervals between waves. But measuring these parameters alone is not enough for an accurate diagnosis. Cardiotachometry is another research method that allows you to evaluate the rate of change in the electrical signal between heartbeats.

The cardiotachometer method is based on the use of a sensor that is located on the patient’s body during an ECG. It allows you to track the electrical impulse that occurs every time the heart contracts. The difference between these pulses is a second P-P.

Cardiotachometry is sometimes used to determine ischemic myocardial damage. Ischemic injury occurs when the blood supply to the heart muscle is interrupted when part of the artery that supplies the muscle is blocked. In this case, the heartbeat increases in the absence of myocardial compensation as a result of decreased oxygen supply.

However, the cardiotachometer method is not the only way to diagnose cardiovascular disease. Despite this, cardiotachometry remains an important tool for identifying possible problems with the cardiac system. It allows you to establish an accurate diagnosis and offer effective treatment methods.
