In the case of being unable to use your fingers, the device comes with 2 cables with electrodes to the place in the forearms. After the 25 seconds, the screen shows us our heart rhythm, and the values of ST segment and the QRS complex electrocardiogram. If the device senses a problem with these values, warns us to go immediately to a doctor.
