Resting Electrocardiogram

A resting electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as a resting EKG, is a common diagnostic tool used to evaluate the heart rhythm of your heart while you are at rest. During the test, small electrodes are placed to your chest, arms, and legs to record the signals produced by your heart as it functions. The resulting lines provide valuable data about your heart's function, including its frequency, rhythm, and the presence of any abnormalities.

A resting ECG is a safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure. It can be used to detect a variety of heart conditions, such as heart rhythm disorders, coronary artery disease, and heart failure.

• It is important to note that a resting ECG may not always detect all potential heart problems.
• As a result, your doctor may order additional tests if needed.

Stress Test ECG

Exercise stress electrocardiography was a non-invasive test used to evaluate the heart's function under website physical exertion. During this procedure, electrodes were on the chest to monitor the electrical signals of the heart. The patient frequently jogs on a treadmill or exercise bike while their blood pressure are being measured closely.

The test helps identify potential problems with the heart, such as coronary artery disease or arrhythmias. The process includes gradually increasing the intensity of exercise until a certain desired heart rate is reached.

At completion of the test, the electrocardiogram tracing provides a visual representation to assess the heart's response to exercise and identify any abnormalities.

Holter Monitor Recording

Continuous ambulatory holter monitoring, also known as a portable EKG, is a reliable method for tracking the heart's electrical activity over an extended period. This invasive device facilitates physicians to identify potential abnormalities that may not be apparent during a short electrocardiogram (ECG) test. Patients commonly wear the holter monitor for 24 hours or even longer, recording their heart rhythm continuously across daily activities. The collected data is then interpreted by a cardiologist, who can make a diagnosis and suggest appropriate treatment options.

Long-Term Electrocardiography for Vital Signs Assessment

Serial electrocardiography offers a unique method for assessing vital signs in subjects. It enables the observation of cardiac function over periods, providing physicians with essential insights into well-being. By analyzing electrocardiographic tracings, nurses can recognize irregularities that may point to underlying conditions. Furthermore, serial electrocardiography can support the care of existing cardiac diseases.
