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

An electrocardiogram at rest is a fundamental tool used to establish a reference point for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure analyses the electrical activity of the cardiac muscle as it beats, producing a visual representation known as an ECG. During a resting ECG, the patient is in a comfortable position while electrodes
