Resting Electrocardiogram

A resting electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as a standard ECG, is a common diagnostic tool used to monitor the electrical activity of your heart while you are at rest. During the test, small website electrodes are affixed to your chest, arms, and legs to measure the waves produced by your heart as it functions. The resulting tracings provide valuable insights about your heart's structure, including its frequency, rhythm, and the presence of any abnormalities.

A resting ECG is a safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure. It can be used to detect a variety of heart conditions, such as heart rhythm disorders, coronary artery disease, and heart failure.

• Keep in mind that a resting ECG may not always detect all potential heart problems.
• Consequently, your doctor may order more evaluations if needed.

Electrocardiogram during Exercise

Exercise stress electrocardiography are a non-invasive test used to evaluate the heart's function while physical exertion. During this procedure, electrodes are on the chest to monitor the electrical signals of the heart. The patient typically walks on a treadmill or exercise bike while their blood pressure are being measured closely.

The test helps identify potential problems with the heart, such as coronary artery disease or arrhythmias. A key part of this test is gradually increasing the intensity of exercise until a certain target heart rate has been achieved.

At the end of the test, the electrocardiogram tracing reveals patterns to assess the heart's response to exercise and identify any abnormalities.

Continuous Ambulatory Holter Monitoring

Continuous ambulatory holter monitoring, also referred to as a holter monitor, is a effective method for recording the heart's electrical activity over an extended period. This wearable device facilitates physicians to detect potential problems that may not be apparent during a limited electrocardiogram (ECG) test. Patients usually carry the holter monitor for 24 hours or even up to several days, recording their heart rhythm continuously throughout daily activities. The collected data is then reviewed by a cardiologist, who can make a diagnosis and propose appropriate treatment choices.

Serial Electrocardiography for Vital Signs Assessment

Serial electrocardiography offers a unique method for assessing vital signs in subjects. It allows the tracking of cardiac function over intervals, providing healthcare professionals with critical insights into clinical status. By interpreting electrocardiographic patterns, therapists can identify abnormalities that may point to underlying diseases. Moreover, serial electrocardiography can assist with the treatment of chronic cardiac diseases.
