An electrocardiograph (ECG or EKG) is a medical device used to measure and record the electrical activity of the heart. It is a fundamental tool in cardiology and is commonly used to diagnose and monitor various heart conditions. The ECG machine consists of electrodes that are attached to the patient’s chest, limbs, and sometimes the torso. These electrodes detect the electrical impulses generated by the heart as it beats, and the ECG machine records and displays these impulses as a series of waveforms on a graph. By analyzing the shape, duration, and intervals between the waves, healthcare professionals can evaluate the heart’s rhythm, detect abnormalities, and assess the overall cardiac health of the patient. ECGs are essential for diagnosing conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, heart blocks, and other cardiac disorders. They are routinely performed in hospitals, clinics, and emergency departments as part of routine check-ups, pre-surgical evaluations, and ongoing cardiac monitoring.
