An electrocardiogram (ECG) or EKG, performed at rest is a non-invasive procedure that measures the electrical activity of the heart. That 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

An electrocardiogram at rest is a fundamental tool used to establish a baseline for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure records the electrical activity of the cardiac muscle as it contracts, producing a visual representation known as an electrocardiographic tracing. During a resting ECG, the patient is in a comfortable posit
