An electrocardiogram (ECG) or EKG, performed at rest is a non-invasive procedure that measures the electrical activity of the heart. It involves placing small adhesive electrodes on the chest, arms, and legs to detect the tiny bioelectric signals produced by the heartbeat. These signals are then amplified and recorded on a graph paper or digital di

An electrocardiogram while resting, also known as an ECG or EKG, is a common medical test that monitors the electrical activity of your heart. During this safe procedure, small electrodes are placed to your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes send signals to a machine that creates a graph of your heart's rhythm. The ECG recording can show a var

A resting electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as a standard ECG, is a common diagnostic tool used to assess the electrical activity of your heart while you are at rest. During the test, small electrodes are attached to your chest, arms, and legs to record the impulses produced by your heart as it contracts. The resulting tracings provide valuable i
