An electrocardiogram (ECG), referred to as an electrocardiograph, is a safe procedure that records the electrical activity of your heart. During a resting ECG, you will lie down while electrodes are attached to your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes transmit the electrical signals to a monitor which displays them as waves on a display. A rest
Electrocardiography at Rest: A Baseline Assessment
An electrocardiogram (ECG) or ECG at rest is a fundamental tool in cardiology. It provides a record of the heart's electrical activity while a patient is peacefully resting. This baseline assessment helps to detect any abnormalities in the heart's rhythm or conduction, which can suggest underlying medical issues. During a resting ECG, electrodes ar
