An ECG or EKG monitor is used to detect diseases related to the heart. Here are the diseases that can be detected using an EKG monitor. Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation causes irregular heartbeat, and the heart's normal blood supply is affected. It may be an intermittent or a permanent condition.

The ST segment changes are compatible with severe subendocardial ischemia which can be caused by type I MI from ACS or potentially from type II MI (non-obstructive coronary artery disease with supply/demand mismatch). The rhythm now is atrial fibrillation. In the initial ECG (ECG# 1) aVR had ST elevation.
