ECG Chart Paper in South Africa
Leading ECG Chart Paper Supplier

Electrocardiogram (ECG) chart paper is a specialised, grid-lined recording medium designed for the accurate visual representation of a patient's cardiac electrical activity. It is a crucial component in the process of performing and interpreting electrocardiograms, a fundamental diagnostic tool in cardiology. The paper features a precise grid of small squares, typically measuring 1mm by 1mm, with thicker lines every 5mm. This grid is calibrated to standard ECG parameters: each small square represents 0.04 seconds horizontally (time) and 0.1 millivolts vertically (amplitude). This standardised layout allows clinicians in South Africa and globally to precisely measure and analyse key features of the ECG waveform, such as the duration of QRS complexes, the height of P waves, and the presence of ST-segment deviations. The paper is fed through an ECG machine's thermal printer or pen writer at a consistent speed, ensuring that the generated waveform accurately reflects the electrical events of the heart over time.

The primary function of ECG chart paper is to provide a tangible, interpretable record of the heart's electrical signals. This allows medical professionals to:
