An electrocardiogram (ECG) performed at rest provides valuable insights into the electrical functioning of the heart. By monitoring the heart's rhythm and amplitude of electrical signals, physicians can determine cardiac function in a stable state. This technique is often used as a baseline test for individuals experiencing nocardiac distress.
Electrocardiographic Assessment at Rest
An electrocardiogram (ECG), frequently called an EKG, is a valuable tool for assessing the heart rhythm of the heart. During a resting ECG assessment, patients are typically positioned in a comfortable posture while electrodes connect to their chest, arms, and legs. This enables the recording of the heart's signals as they travel through the heart
