A resting electrocardiogram (ECG) is a common procedure used to evaluate the conduction system of your heart. During a resting ECG, you will lie down still while electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes detect the tiny electrical currents generated by your heart as it contracts. The resulting tracing provides valuable d

An electrocardiogram (ECG), sometimes called an electrocardiograph, is a safe examination that records the electrical activity of your heart. During a resting ECG, you remain still while electrodes are attached to your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes capture the heart rhythms to a machine which graphs them as waves on a chart. A resting ECG

An electrocardiogram (ECG) or ECG at rest is a fundamental method in cardiology. It provides a snapshot of the heart's electrical activity while a patient is peacefully resting. This baseline assessment helps to identify any abnormalities in the heart's rhythm or conduction, which can suggest underlying cardiac diseases. During a resting ECG, elect
