ECG - ElectrocardiogramAn Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a noninvasive diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. The test is used to help diagnose a variety of heart conditions, including heart attack, arrhythmia, and heart disease. An ECG records the electrical signals produced by the heart and displays them as a series of lines and waves on a graph.
An ECG test is quick, simple, and painless, and typically takes only a few minutes to complete. The patient lies down on an exam table, and small electrodes are attached to the chest, arms, and legs. The electrodes detect the electrical signals produced by the heart and send them to the ECG machine, which records and displays the information on a graph. In some cases, an ECG test may be performed while the patient is exercising, such as during a stress test, to evaluate the heart's response to physical activity.
An ECG test is a valuable diagnostic tool for healthcare providers and is often used in combination with other tests, such as blood tests and echocardiograms, to provide a comprehensive evaluation of heart health. The results of an ECG test can help diagnose a variety of heart conditions and guide the development of an effective treatment plan. In many cases, an ECG test is a routine part of a comprehensive physical examination, and can help detect heart problems early, before symptoms develop.
