ECG

The electrocardiogram (ECG) (from ancient Greek καρδία kardía 'heart' and γράμμα grámma 'written') is the recording of the sum of the electrical activities of all heart muscle fibers. Electrocardiogram means heart voltage curve in German, occasionally it is also called heart writing.

During an ECG, the electrical activity of the heart is measured and recorded in the form of curves.

With each beat in the heart, a weak current with a voltage of about 1/1000 volt is generated. Curve changes in the electrocardiogram can Diseases such as cardiac arrhythmias, myocarditis, circulatory disorders or Heart attack be recorded.
