An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a non-intrusive medical examination that captures the heart's electrical activity during a designated time frame. Electrodes are attached to the skin, and the resulting ECG waveform graphically represents the heart's rhythm and function. This diagnostic tool is crucial for detecting irregularities such as arrhythmias, ischemia, and other cardiac conditions. ECGs provide valuable information for healthcare professionals in assessing heart health, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring cardiac function. The test is quick, painless, and widely used in various medical settings to evaluate and manage cardiovascular issues.
