ECG

The ECG, or electrocardiogram, is a diagnostic method for examining the heart. Through the ECG, the electrical activity of the heart is graphically recorded, providing the therapist with information about the heart’s functionality.

The ECG produces the distinctive waveform, which reflects the spread of electrical impulses within the heart. This allows for the identification of irregular heart rhythms, blockages in impulse conduction, or additional heartbeats (known as extrasystoles).

During an electrocardiogram, electrodes, small sensors, are attached to the chest to transmit electronic signals for analysis.
