Gotovili you to such a amazingly smart clothes? We are talking about high-tech t-shirt, which will help doctors to detect the risk of stroke.
Scientists have developed a unique t-shirt which continuously monitors heart activity and detects anomalies. It can help to protect against stroke and even diagnose the cause of syncope. High-tech t-shirt has electrodes attached to the original tissue, which carry out round-the-clock test of the electrical activity of the heart. They are connected with a tiny chip that sends wireless signals to a special application in the smartphone of the patient. This information can warn about health problems.
The app can be configured so that alarm information will receive not only the patient, but also his doctor. We should not think that the t-shirt disposable, you can wash as many as 35 times before she will require replacement. This is another kind of “smart” sensors that develop science for the diagnosis of dangerous heart defects, including atrial fibrillation. Victims fibrillation risk of stroke is often much higher. In Russia, atrial fibrillation affects up to two million people, and it is only those who have this pathology is diagnosed. And about a million arrhythmia there is, but they know nothing about it.
As in the case of hypertension the exact causes of arrhythmia is unknown, but there are theories that it is caused by infection of the chest cavity, overactive thyroid gland, high blood pressure and excessive alcohol consumption. Approximately 4% of all people over the age of 60 faced with any arrhythmias. Someone they are manifested with chest pain, dizziness and fatigue, but most of them do not show anything that is dangerous, because the arrhythmia without treatment threatened stroke. (READ MORE)
