Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test that can be used to check your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity. Sensors attached to the skin are used to detect the electrical signals produced by your heart each time it beats.

Detailed explanation-2: -An EKG can show: How fast your heart is beating. Whether the rhythm of your heartbeat is steady or irregular. The strength and timing of the electrical signals passing through each part of your heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -An electrocardiogram is a safe procedure. There is no risk of electrical shock during the test because the electrodes used do not produce electricity. The electrodes only record the electrical activity of the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -An electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) is a test that measures the electrical signals that control heart rhythm. The test measures how electrical impulses move through the heart muscle as it contracts and relaxes. The electrocardiogram translates the heart’s electrical activity into line tracings on paper.

Detailed explanation-5: -An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a test that checks how your heart is functioning by measuring the electrical activity of the heart. With each heart beat, an electrical impulse (or wave) travels through your heart. This wave causes the muscle to squeeze and pump blood from the heart.
