An electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and can help diagnose heart conditions including arrhythmias and heart disease. By combining ECG with a digital stethoscope, Eko makes it easy and fast to assess a patient’s heart comprehensively.

Types of ECG Exams

1-Lead ECG

Used for Limited Assessments 
Because it uses 1 electrode, the 1-lead exam only captures electrical activity of the heart from a single angle. Wearable devices often include non-medical grade 1-lead ECG.

3-Lead ECG

A More Comprehensive Picture
With 3 leads, the exam provides a more complete assessment of a patient's heart health and can be faster than conducting a 12-lead ECG exam.

12-Lead ECG

The Gold Standard
12-lead ECG exams provide the most detailed picture of a patient’s heart, but often require technician support and follow-up appointments.

“A digital version of a pocket ECG can truly be a game changer in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and preventing serious complications, even in asymptomatic patients.”

Luis F.

Primary Care Physician

“Having the heart rate and ECG is clinically valuable. ERs are at maximum capacity, so going out into the waiting room with the CORE 500™ helps me quickly triage patients and determine who needs to be seen immediately.”

Kyle H.

Emergency Medicine Physician

“With the CORE 500™, I was able to catch rhythms I couldn’t see before… [For example], I might not hear aflutter, but if the ECG looked funny, it would prompt me to listen longer.”

Rebecca B.

RN, Medical Surgery, Telemetry

“It would take a minute to have a machine brought in the room to [detect AFib]. I can do it in the room in 30 seconds or less [with a digital stethoscope with ECG].”
