An electrocardiogram (ECG) or EKG, performed at rest is a non-invasive procedure that measures the electrical activity of the heart. That 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
Electrocardiogram at Rest: Baseline Assessment
An electrocardiogram in a rested state is a fundamental tool used to establish a baseline for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure monitors the electrical activity of the myocardium as it performs its cycle, producing a visual representation known as an electrocardiographic tracing. During a resting ECG, the patient is in a c
