What it is
An ECG, also called EKG, records the heart’s electrical activity as wavy lines.[1]
Why it matters
It can show heart rate, rhythm regularity, and the timing and strength of electrical signals.[1]
What it affects
- ECG context appears in arrhythmia, heart attack, heart failure, valve disease, cardiomyopathy, and congenital-heart discussions.[1]
Interpretation traps
- A normal or abnormal ECG needs clinical interpretation; BioConst does not read tracings.[1]
