What does Electrocardiography at Center measure?

The Electrocardiography at Center test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the electrical activity of the heart. This test provides a detailed recording of the heart's electrical impulses, which are crucial for its rhythm and function. By capturing the heart's electrical signals, the ECG test can identify various conditions affecting heart health, such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac abnormalities.

The ECG machine consists of a series of electrodes attached to the skin at specific locations on the chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes sense the electrical impulses produced by the heart as it beats. The impulses are then transmitted to the ECG machine, which records them as a waveform on a computer or paper printout. This waveform represents the heart's electrical activity over time, allowing for the analysis of the heart's rhythm, rate, and electrical conduction.

Doctors examine the ECG trace to diagnose heart conditions and determine appropriate treatments. By evaluating the size and timing of each electrical impulse, doctors can detect issues such as irregular heartbeats, heart muscle damage, and other cardiovascular problems.
