In the few moments between a lead being disconnected and that event being detected by the
software, pacemaker spikes may be erroneously detected. As a result, a group of pacemaker
markers may be shown on the trace just before the square waves are shown. The pacemaker
pulse detection will be suppressed as soon as the square waves are shown, and will continue
to be suppressed until the erroneous signal is corrected.
2.3.11. Printing during recording
You can print the following formats while recording an exercise ECG:
2x6 simultaneous or sequential
4x3 simultaneous or sequential
rhythm
To print during recording:
In the Real-time monitor, click the Print button. It may take some time for the copy to be
printed, especially with slow printers. The Print format that is selected in the settings will be
printed.
Tip for printing during recording:
If you frequently print during recording, you might want to consider Automatic printing. With
Automatic printing, you can configure Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Exercise ECG to print at set
times during the recording.
2.3.12. Target heart rate
The Real-time monitor displays the current Heart rate and the target Heart rate during
recording, in the overview area.
The target Heart rate can be adjusted at the start of a new exercise ECG.
You can either set the target Heart rate directly, or set it as a percentage of the predicted
maximum Heart rate. By default the target Heart rate value is set as 85% of the predicted
maximum HR.
The predicted maximum Heart rate is calculated with the following formula:
Predicted Maxium Heart Rate = (220 - patient's age in years)
Welch Allyn CardioPerfect displays the Predicted Maximum Heart Rate next to the Target
Heart rate field when the new exercise dialog window is opened.
To set the target Heart rate:
Enter a value in the Target Heart rate field.
To set the target Heart rate as a percentage of the maximum Heart rate:
Enter a percentage in the corresponding field.
