An electrocardiogram (ECG) or EKG, performed at rest is a non-invasive procedure that measures the electrical activity of the heart. This involves placing small adhesive electrodes on the chest, arms, and legs to detect the tiny heart signals produced by the heartbeat. These signals are then amplified and recorded on a graph paper or digital displa
Electrocardiogram at Rest: Baseline Assessment
An electrocardiogram in a rested state is a fundamental tool used to establish a benchmark for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure monitors the electrical activity of the myocardium as it beats, producing a visual representation known as an EKG. During a resting ECG, the patient remains seated while electrodes are attached t
