Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An EKG (electrocardiogram) is a graphic tracing of the electrical activity of the heart, which is produced when electrodes placed on the skin detect the electrical impulses generated by the heart's pacemaker (the sinoatrial node) and conduction system. The resulting waveform provides important information about the heart's rhythm, rate, and electrical conduction pathways. EKGs are commonly used to diagnose a wide range of heart conditions, including arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, and heart failure.
