デジタル聴診器はどのように機能しますか?
デジタル聴診器は、BPMコアが左上腕に置かれたときに胸の側面に接触するように、カフの外側部分に配置されています。このデバイスは20秒間心音を聴き、心臓弁膜症のリスクがあるかどうかを検出いたします。
これは医学的に承認された測定ですか?
This recording is a big innovation and has received CE clearance for medical devices. BPM Core is currently under review to be FDA cleared.
この測定から何を知ることができますか? また、どのようにそれを実行できますか?
BPMコアはユーザー様に、心臓弁膜症を患っているリスクをお知らせし、状況に応じて、心臓専門医に診てもらうように促します。診断が早ければ早いほど、心臓病専門医は進行具合に追随し、最終的には、手術を計画することができます。
Note: You will initially need 5 successful measurements before receiving the results of your stethoscope recordings. If you didn’t take ECG and heart sounds recordings during the last 6 months, you will have to follow this process again.
Results you may see
Several measurements are needed in order to give a precise analysis of your heart sounds. You can see the number of measurements you’ve taken in the Withings Withings App.
- Normal heart sounds: Your heart doesn't show evidence of valvular heart disease.
- Signs of valvular heart disease: Your heart sounds may show signs of valvular heart diseases.
- Inconclusive: An inconclusive result means the recording can't be classified. This can happen for many reasons such as too much noise in the signal, or due to a wrong position of the stethoscope.
Please note that an ECG is needed for the heart sounds analysis. This is why an inconclusive ECG will lead to an inconclusive heart sounds report.
Please, consult your doctor if your heart sounds show evidence of valvular heart diseases or if you feel shortness of breath, heart pains or palpitations.
