An ECG at Rest

A resting electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as a standard ECG, is a common diagnostic tool used to evaluate the electrical activity of your heart while you are at a stationary position. During the test, small electrodes are placed to your chest, arms, and legs to measure the impulses produced by your heart as it contracts. The resulting tracings provide valuable information about your heart's health, 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 identify a variety of heart conditions, such as heart rhythm disorders, coronary artery disease, and heart failure.

• Keep in mind that a resting ECG may not always detect all potential heart problems.
• As a result, your doctor may order further examinations if needed.

Exercise Stress Electrocardiography

Exercise stress electrocardiography is a non-invasive test used to evaluate the heart's read more function during physical exertion. During this procedure, electrodes were on the chest to monitor the heart’s electrical activity. The patient typically walks on a treadmill or exercise bike while their blood pressure are monitored 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 target heart rate is attained.

At the end of the test, the electrocardiogram tracing is analyzed to assess the heart's response to exercise and show signs of problems.

Holter Monitor Recording

Continuous ambulatory holter monitoring, also known as a portable EKG, is a proven method for monitoring the heart's electrical activity over an extended period. This non-invasive device enables physicians to pinpoint potential problems that may not be apparent during a limited electrocardiogram (ECG) test. Patients typically utilize the holter monitor for a full day or even up to several days, recording their heart rhythm continuously throughout daily activities. The collected data is then reviewed by a cardiologist, who can formulate a diagnosis and propose appropriate treatment choices.

Continuous Electrocardiography for Vital Signs Assessment

Serial electrocardiography delivers a valuable method for assessing vital signs in patients. It enables the measurement of cardiac function over intervals, providing clinicians with critical insights into well-being. By examining electrocardiographic data, therapists can detect irregularities that may indicate underlying diseases. Furthermore, serial electrocardiography can support the management of existing cardiac diseases.
