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 electrical signals produced by the heartbeat. These signals are then amplified and recorded on a graph paper or digital dis

An electrocardiogram at rest is a fundamental tool used to establish a benchmark for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure analyses the electrical activity of the heart as it performs its cycle, producing a visual representation known as an electrocardiographic tracing. During a resting ECG, the patient remains seated while el
