An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a crucial instrument for assessing the electrical activity of the heart. A resting state ECG provides a snapshot of the heart's performance when it is not exercising. This test typically involves placing small, sticky electrodes on the chest, arms, and legs to detect the electrical signals generated by the heart as it
An Overview Electrocardiogram at Rest
A resting electrocardiogram (ECG) offers a valuable snapshot of your heart's function. During this simple test, electrodes are applied to your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes monitor the minute electrical signals that drive your heart's contraction. The resulting tracing, a series of lines, illustrates important information about the functi
