12-lead ECG

A 12-lead ECG is a diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of the heart from 12 different angles using small sensors called electrodes placed on the chest and limbs. These recordings help doctors assess the heart's rhythm, detect irregularities, and identify issues like heart attacks or signs of abnormal heart function. By analyzing the electrical signals from multiple perspectives, healthcare providers can gain a comprehensive view of the heart’s health, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
