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

A resting electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as a standard ECG, is a common diagnostic tool used to evaluate the electrical activity of your heart while you are at complete stillness. During the test, small electrodes are attached to your chest, arms, and legs to record the waves produced by your heart as it functions. The resulting lines provide
