Abstract

Abstract: Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the world. Heart disease is one of the most common diseases and one of the highest causes of death in Indonesia (Ministry of Health, 2017). Health disease isn’t easy to detect because it can’t be seen physically, requiring a tool to monitor heart condition, i.e. Electrocardiogram (ECG). Although the result of electrocardiogram measurement is time graph to voltage called electrocardiogram (ECG), it can analyze and identify patient’s heart condition automatically, only displaying seven criteria in interpreting Electrocardiogram (ECG) result, i.e. Heart Rate, Rhythm), P Wave, P-QRS Distance (PR Interval), QRS Complex (PR Interval), QRS Complex, S_T Segment and T Wave. Therefore, it requires specialist ability to interpret the result of measurement of heart muscle activity. That’s why there are many cases of heart disease which are treated late, because analysis takes a long time. Despite obtaining ECG data, it’s difficult to know information in ECG record result. To read ECG record, one must have experience and knowledge on health disease and its symptoms. Manual extraction of important information of signals in ECG is very inefficient due to the amount of data to observe.

Highlights

  • One should be aware of heart disease and immediately take measures to treat it because it happens suddenly, almost all patients have no previous complaint, and the patients generally look very healthy, requiring a tool to monitor heart condition, i.e. Electrocardiogram (ECG)

  • The causes of heart failure vary, but the main cause is usually blocked blood supply to cardiac muscles because the blood vessels which usually deliver blood to the cardiac muscles are blocked or hardened due to fat and cholesterol, or chemicals, e.g. excessive usage of drugs which contain Phenylpropanolanin which is often found in drugs such as Decolgen, and nicotine

  • Heart rhythm is within normal range if it has sinus rhythm which comes from impulse located near the mouth of vena cava superior in the right atrium of the heart

Summary

INTRODUCTION

. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the world. ECG can record the ‘electrical’ activities of the heart. Moving part may have been damaged during heart attack or receive too little oxygen. This may indicate coronary artery or other conditions. ECG examination can record the ‘electrical’ activities of the heart. Coronary blockage in the heart with ‘ischemia’ causes disturbance in the heart’s ‘electrical’ activities which are detected by 'electrocardiogram '. ECG can record various disorders of the electrical activities of the heart
