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 in a rested state is a fundamental tool used to establish a benchmark for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure analyses the electrical activity of the cardiac muscle as it performs its cycle, producing a visual representation known as an electrocardiographic tracing. During a resting ECG, the patient typi
