Electrocardiogram
A non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart to evaluate heart rate, rhythm, and conduction abnormalities.
Key Facts
- It measures electrical impulses as they travel through the heart's specialized conduction system from the atria to the ventricles.
- Normal recordings display distinct P, QRS, and T waves representing atrial stimulation, ventricular stimulation, and ventricular recovery.
- It is essential for confirming atrial fibrillation and differentiating it from other cardiac arrhythmias that may sound similar on auscultation.
- The test can be performed during routine examinations or when clinical signs like weakness, exercise intolerance, or irregular pulses are noted.
