A 6-channel ECG (electrocardiogram) machine measures and records the heart's electrical activity and displays up to six channels or waveforms simultaneously on a screen or thermal paper.
• Signal Capture & Display: It acquires 12 standard heart leads simultaneously and outputs or prints them in a 6-channel format for faster, more comprehensive clinical review than single- or 3-channel devices.
• Arrhythmia & Abnormality Detection: It helps clinicians identify irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarctions (heart attacks), ventricular hypertrophy, and bundle branch blocks.
• Automatic Interpretation: Many models feature built-in diagnostic software algorithms that provide preliminary automated measurements and rhythm interpretations.
