Polycardiography is a method for diagnosing heart rhythm disorders, which consists of analyzing changes in the characteristics of heart oscillations caused by contractions of all its chambers. Polycardiography is performed to detect heart rhythm disturbances, such as extrasystole, His bundle block, atrioventricular block and other heart rhythm disturbances.
The polycardiography method is based on the fact that different chambers of the heart have different rates of filling and emptying, so with each beat the heart chambers will have a different vibration pattern. The polycardiograph records all these fluctuations and analyzes their shape and amplitude, comparing them with normal indicators of cardiac activity.
Polycardiography also helps diagnose disorders in other organs and systems that can affect heart rhythm. For example, diseases of the thyroid gland, anemia, lung diseases and others can lead to heart rhythm disturbances and require polycardiographic diagnostics.
However, it should be noted that polycardiography should be performed only after consultation with a doctor. This is due to the fact that polycardiograph results may not reflect the true condition of the heart if the patient is taking drugs that affect cardiac activity or is under stress. The physician must conduct preliminary preparation before performing polycardiography in order to assess the patient's condition and functionality and ensure that the method will be informative and useful.
In general, polycardiography is a valuable method for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias in patients with suspected cardiac arrhythmias. It can help identify the cause of abnormalities in the cardiovascular system and assess the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
