ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY (ECG)
A Brief introduction to ECG • The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a time-varying signal reflecting the ionic current flow which causes the cardiac fibers to contract and subsequently relax. The surface ECG is obtained by recording the potential difference between two electrodes placed on the surface of the skin. A single normal cycle of the ECG represents the successive atrial depolarisation/repolarisation and ventricular depolarisation/repolarisation which occurs with every heart beat. • Simply put, the ECG (EKG) is a device that measures and records the electrical activity of the heart from electrodes placed on the skin in specific locations
What the ECG is used for? • Screening test for coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, left ventricular hypertrophy • Preoperatively to rule out coronary artery disease • Can provide information in the precence of metabolic alterations such has hyper/hypo calcemia/kalemia etc. • With known heart disease, monitor progression of the disease • Discovery of heart disease; infarction, coronal insufficiency as well as myocardial, valvular and cognitial heart disease • Evaluation of ryhthm disorders • All in all, it is the basic cardiologic test and is widely applied in patients with suspected or known heart disease
