An electrocardiogram EKG at rest is a fundamental tool used to assess the electrical activity of the heart. It involves placing electrodes on the patient's chest, arms, and legs to record the heart's rhythm and detect any abnormalities. During the procedure, the patient remains seated or lying down in a quiet environment while their heart rate and
Electrocardiogram at Rest: Baseline Assessment
An electrocardiogram during resting is a fundamental tool used to establish a baseline for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure monitors the electrical activity of the heart as it beats, producing a visual representation known as an electrocardiographic tracing. During a resting ECG, the patient typically lies down while elec
