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 electrical signals produced by the heartbeat. These signals are then amplified and recorded on a graph paper or digital dis
Electrocardiogram at Rest: Baseline Assessment
An electrocardiogram during resting is a fundamental tool used to establish a reference point for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure records the electrical activity of the myocardium as it contracts, producing a visual representation known as an EKG. During a resting ECG, the patient is in a comfortable position while elect
