An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a common procedure used to observe the electrical activity of your heart. A resting ECG provides a baseline measurement of your heart's rhythm when you are at peace. During a stress test, however, you will undergo physical motion while the ECG is monitored. This helps to detect how your heart performs under physical pr
Automatic Cardiac Analysis: A Computerized ECG System
In the realm of cardiology, rapid analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is paramount for reliable diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Automated cardiac rhythm analysis leverages sophisticated computerized systems to process ECG data, identifying abnormalities with high fidelity. These systems often employ algorithms based on machi
Electrocardiography at Rest
An resting EKG at rest provides a valuable snapshot for evaluating your heart's rhythm. During this painless examination, electrodes are attached to your chest, arms, and legs to detect the waveforms produced by your heart. This data can help your physician assess any abnormalities in your heart's beat, such as bradycardia (slow heart rate), tachy
