An ECG is a graphic recording of the electrical activity of the heart over time captured by electrodes placed on the skin. It detects the impulse as it travels through the heart and provides information about heart rate and rhythm, as well as the size and position of the chambers, any damage to the heart, and the effects of drugs or devices. The standard ECG uses 12 leads attached at specific positions on the limbs and chest to detect the P, QRS, and T waves representing atrial depolarization, ventricular depolarization, and ventricular repolarization respectively. The ECG is useful for diagnosing heart conditions like heart attacks, arrhythmias, and damage as well as monitoring effects of drugs.
