Resting Electrocardiogram

A resting electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as a basal ECG, is a common diagnostic tool used to assess the electrical activity of your heart while you are at rest. During the test, small electrodes are affixed to your chest, arms, and legs to record the impulses produced by your heart as it beats. The resulting lines provide valuable insights about your heart's structure, including its speed, rhythm, and the presence of any abnormalities.

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

• Remember that a resting ECG may not always detect all potential heart problems.
• Therefore, your doctor may order more evaluations if needed.

Stress Test ECG

Exercise stress electrocardiography was a non-invasive test used to evaluate the heart's function during physical exertion. During this procedure, electrodes are on the chest to monitor the heart’s electrical activity. The patient frequently jogs on a treadmill or exercise bike while their heart rate is tracked closely.

The test helps detect potential problems with the heart, such as coronary artery disease or arrhythmias. It involves gradually increasing the intensity of electrocardiogram and electrocardiograph exercise until a certain desired heart rate is reached.

At conclusion of the test, the electrocardiogram tracing reveals patterns to assess the heart's response to exercise and show signs of problems.

Holter Monitor Recording

Continuous ambulatory holter monitoring, also recognized as a holter monitor, is a proven method for recording the heart's electrical activity over an extended period. This wearable device facilitates physicians to identify potential abnormalities that may not be apparent during a limited electrocardiogram (ECG) test. Patients usually utilize the holter monitor for 24 hours or even longer, recording their heart rhythm continuously across daily activities. The collected data is then reviewed by a cardiologist, who can determine a diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment alternatives.

Continuous Electrocardiography for Vital Signs Assessment

Serial electrocardiography provides a powerful method for assessing vital signs in subjects. It facilitates the tracking of cardiac function over intervals, providing clinicians with key insights into well-being. By examining electrocardiographic tracings, nurses can detect deviations that may indicate underlying conditions. Moreover, serial electrocardiography can aid in the care of existing medical ailments.
