    What is an ECG?

    An ECG records the heart’s electrical signals and translates them into a graph. This graph helps healthcare professionals:

    • Evaluate heart rhythm.

    • Detect irregularities, such as arrhythmias.

    • Diagnose heart attacks or ischemic conditions.

    • Assess the effectiveness of cardiac treatments.

    • Monitor pacemaker functionality.

    Types of ECG Tests

    1. Resting ECG:

      • Conducted while the patient is at rest to assess baseline heart activity.

    2. Stress ECG (Exercise ECG):

      • Performed while the patient exercises to monitor heart performance under physical stress.

    3. Holter Monitoring:

      • A portable device records heart activity over 24-48 hours to detect irregularities during daily activities.
