A resting electrocardiogram (ECG) serves as the primary diagnostic tool in cardiology. This noninvasive procedure involves recording the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs. By analyzing the recorded waveform, clinicians can detect various heart conditions, including arrhythmias, myocardial infarcti
Electrocardiography at Rest: A Baseline Assessment
An electrocardiogram (ECG) or electrocardiograph at rest is a fundamental method in cardiology. It provides a picture of the heart's electrical activity while a patient is calmly resting. This baseline assessment helps to reveal any abnormalities in the heart's rhythm or conduction, which can indicate underlying cardiac diseases. During a resting E
