An electrocardiogram, commonly referred to as an ECG or EKG, is a vital diagnostic procedure used to capture the heart's electrical activity during a specified timeframe. This non-invasive test plays a pivotal role in evaluating cardiac health and detecting a spectrum of heart-related conditions. By strategically placing electrodes on the skin, the ECG records the electrical impulses generated by the heart during its contraction and relaxation phases. The resulting graphical representation, the electrocardiogram, serves as a comprehensive visual guide to the heart's rhythm and can unveil irregularities, arrhythmias, or signs of ischemia.In the realm of medical practice, ECGs find widespread use, ranging from routine health check-ups to critical emergency situations. The information gleaned from an ECG assists healthcare professionals in rendering accurate diagnoses and formulating tailored treatment plans for individuals grappling with cardiovascular issues. The speed, simplicity, and efficacy of ECGs underscore their indispensability in the field of cardiology, playing a pivotal role in the ongoing monitoring and preservation of heart health.
