Detailed explanation-1: -An electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the simplest and fastest tests used to evaluate the heart. Electrodes (small, plastic patches that stick to the skin) are placed at certain spots on the chest, arms, and legs. The electrodes are connected to an ECG machine by lead wires.

Detailed explanation-2: -An electrocardiogram or electrocardiograph (ECG or EKG) is the same thing. An EKG is a test that examines the heart function by measuring the electrical activity of the heart. With each heartbeat, an electrical impulse (or wave) travels through the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is an ECG? ECG stands for ‘electrocardiogram’, which records the electrical activity of the heart from different angles (where the electrodes are placed on different parts of a patient’s limbs and chest) to identify and locate any heart-related issues at the moment of the recording.

Detailed explanation-5: -An electrocardiogram uses electrodes attached to the skin, which are able to detect electrical currents, in order to provide us with information about the heart. The information detected by the electrodes is used to calculate measurements, known as leads.
