Overview Of An Electrocardiogram

Electrocardiograms test the electrical activity in a patient's heart! They diagnose the cause of many symptoms, including irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath, chest pain, and dizziness. The majority of individuals have had at least one echocardiogram. They are now a standard portion of the patient intake process in emergency rooms! An electrocardiogram does not create electricity. Instead, it measures the natural electrical current in the patient's heart and body!
