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 reference point for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure records the electrical activity of the heart as it contracts, producing a visual representation known as an ECG. During a resting ECG, the patient typically lies down while electrodes are a
