ECG interpretation

ECG, or electrocardiogram, is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart over time. It uses sensors placed on the skin to create a graphical representation of heartbeats. By analyzing the waves on the ECG, doctors can assess heart rate, rhythm, and the size of heart chambers, which helps detect heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, or other cardiac issues. A normal ECG shows a consistent pattern, while irregularities may indicate underlying health problems that require further investigation or treatment. Understanding these patterns can guide medical decisions and improve heart health.
