A resting electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a painless examination that monitors the electrical signals of your heart. During this test, you will be asked to sit quietly while electrodes are affixed to your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes transmit the electrical signals from your heart to a machine that displays a graph of your heart beat.

A resting electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as an EKG, is a non-invasive procedure that records the electrical activity of the heart. Experienced cardiologists carefully evaluate the ECG waveform to identify any abnormalities in heart rhythm or structure. The resulting ECG tracing provides valuable information about the heart's condition. Common
