The Perfect Duo: Skilled Physicians and Advanced Electrocardiographs
In the world of medicine, precision and efficiency are key. A physician’s expertise is the cornerstone of excellent patient care, but even the most skilled doctor relies on advanced electrocardiographs to provide accurate diagnoses. The right electrocardiograph machine does more than record heart activity; it enhances workflow, improves diagnostic accuracy, and ultimately helps save lives. […]
Signal Quality in the Electrocardiograph: Key to Accurate and Reliable Diagnoses
Physiological signals play an essential role in medical diagnosis, as they reflect the patient’s health status. When properly analyzed, they enable the detection and classification of various diseases. Among all physiological signals, those from electrocardiograms are crucial because they provide information on the cardiac, cardiovascular, and cardiorespiratory systems. The quality of the signals in an […]

In this […]
Six-minute Walk Test: What You Should Know
The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is used to objectively assess the exercise capacity of patients with moderate to severe pulmonary diseases. Unlike pulmonary function tests, the 6MWT captures the often-coexisting extrapulmonary manifestations of chronic respiratory diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, frailty, sarcopenia, and cancer. Unlike cardiopulmonary exercise testing, this test is low-complexity and safe. The patient […]
SCHILLER Electrocardiographs: Key Benefits in Veterinary Medicine
SCHILLER electrocardiographs are sophisticated pieces of Swiss technology. Our founder, Alfred Schiller, pioneered developments for ECGs, such as keyboards, integrated printers, and test interpretation, which are now standard features in this type of equipment.While it is true that our electrocardiographs are designed for human patients, their advanced functionalities can also be beneficial for veterinary medicine. In this […]
The role of vital signs in preventing postoperative hospital crises
Vital signs monitors are tools that can make a significant difference in postoperative patient outcomes. About half of adverse events occur in general care areas. However, acute cardiorespiratory events do not occur unexpectedly. Up to 60% of patients show one or more abnormal vital signs up to 4-6 hours before experiencing cardiac arrest. Therefore, it […]
Resistant hypertension: A complex condition
Resistant or refractory arterial hypertension is defined as blood pressure that remains above the target despite the use of three or more antihypertensive medications, including diuretics.This complex condition affects a significant proportion of the hypertensive population and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite the availability of a wide range of pharmacological therapies, […]
SCHILLER celebrates its 50th anniversary!
