Electrocardiogram EKG

An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is a medical test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed on the skin. It is used to detect heart problems, such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions, by measuring the heart's electrical signals and displaying them as a series of waves on a graph. The test is non-invasive, painless, and provides valuable information about the heart's rhythm, rate, and overall function.
