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 at rest is a fundamental tool used to establish a baseline for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure records the electrical activity of the heart as it beats, producing a visual representation known as an EKG. During a resting ECG, the patient remains seated while electrodes are attached to their chest, ar
