An electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as an electrocardiograph, is a valuable instrument used to monitor the rhythmic activity of the heart. During a resting ECG, a patient remains still while sensors are placed on their chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes record the small electrical signals generated by the heart as it beats. The recorded sig

An electrocardiogram (ECG) or EKG at rest is a fundamental tool in cardiology. It provides a snapshot of the heart's electrical activity while a patient is quietly resting. This baseline assessment helps to reveal any abnormalities in the heart's rhythm or electrical signals, which can indicate underlying medical issues. During a resting ECG, elect
