An electrocardiogram (ECG), sometimes called an electrocardiograph, is a simple examination that measures the electrical activity of your heart. During a resting ECG, you remain still while electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes transmit the wave patterns to a monitor which graphs them as waves on a display.

Electrocardiography at Rest: A Baseline Assessment
An electrocardiogram (ECG) or electrocardiograph at rest is a fundamental tool in cardiology. It provides a snapshot of the heart's electrical activity while a patient is peacefully resting. This baseline assessment helps to detect any abnormalities in the heart's rhythm or conduction, which can suggest underlying heart conditions. During a resting
