Electrocardiogram, widely known as Ecg or Ekg (Elektrokardiogram in German/Dutch), is a base cardiac test which helps in detecting varied cardiac abnormalities. This test is in general done to test the electrical performance of the heart.
The electrical performance of the heart is represented by an electrocardiograph reproduced by a tool or software called Ecg Simulator. There are distinct kinds of simulators with distinct number of leads (10 or 12) and types of sick person cables. The compatibility of the leads and sick person cables should all the time be checked with the diagnostic equipment.
A normal Ecg records problems with the heart's rhythm and the conduction of the heart beat. It helps examine distinct problems and also a patient's response to the treatment.
Ecg can be done when there are symptoms of chest pain (angina), mystery in breathing, fainting and palpitations. It can show evident disease in coronary arteries and the result of medications on it. It can also present a old heart strike or the cause of slow or fast heart beat. It can also help to demonstrate thickening of a heart muscle and to know the mineral article in the blood. However, Ecg is not an exhaustive test and it may not trace an fundamental primary heart disease, hence other tests are needed. One can also read about it or watch the top healing videos online to gain more data about it.
Electrocardiogram Ecg is a inoffensive test with no danger at all. This test is usually taken when sick person is completely at rest. But sometimes the disease or thickening of coronary arteries is not detected and hence an rehearsal test is performed. The sick person may get chest pain which would be resolved after the rehearsal is stopped. rehearsal test should be done in administration of the doctors and the Ecg technicians. The test can be discontinued in case of major chest pain, drop in Bp, changes on Ecg or achievement of target heart rate.
An Ecg is performed with 10 or 12 self adhesive electrodes (or cables) attached to arms, legs and chest on clean and shaved skin. The test is inoffensive and it does not even take a minuscule once the leads are in position. The doctor then gives suggestions after reviewing the paper print out of Ecg.
As the Ecg test is not the ultimate and it has to be supplemented with other tests, the options are radioisotope perfusion scan - which uses low dosage radioactive dye to show the areas having good and bad furnish of blood or angiography - which is the X-ray examination, for determining illness and its cause.
