A resting electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a painless test that records the electrical patterns of your heart. During this test, you will be asked to lie down quietly while electrodes are affixed to your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes send the electrical signals from your heart to a machine that generates a graph of your heart beat. A res

An electrocardiogram in a rested state is a fundamental tool used to establish a benchmark for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure analyses the electrical activity of the cardiac muscle as it performs its cycle, producing a visual representation known as an EKG. During a resting ECG, the patient typically lies down while ele
