Resting Electrocardiogram

A resting electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as a basal ECG, is a common diagnostic tool used to monitor the heart rhythm of your heart while you are at complete stillness. During the test, small electrodes are attached to your chest, arms, and legs to capture the waves produced by your heart as it functions. The resulting lines provide valuable information about your heart's structure, including its frequency, rhythm, and the presence of any abnormalities.

A resting ECG is a safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure. It can be used to diagnose a variety of heart conditions, such as irregular heartbeats, coronary artery disease, and heart failure.

• Remember that a resting ECG may not always detect all potential heart problems.
• Consequently, your doctor may order additional tests if needed.

Exercise Stress Electrocardiography

Exercise stress electrocardiography is a non-invasive test used to evaluate the heart's function while physical exertion. During this procedure, electrodes is placed on the chest to monitor the ECG. The patient often rides a stationary bicycle on a treadmill or exercise bike while their vital signs are being measured closely.

The test helps identify potential problems with the heart, such as coronary artery disease or arrhythmias. The process includes gradually increasing the here intensity of exercise until a certain specific exertion level is attained.

At completion of the test, the electrocardiogram tracing reveals patterns to assess the heart's response to exercise and identify any abnormalities.

Portable EKG Surveillance

Continuous ambulatory holter monitoring, also known as a holter monitor, is a proven method for monitoring the heart's electrical activity over an extended period. This invasive device facilitates physicians to pinpoint potential problems that may not be apparent during a limited electrocardiogram (ECG) test. Patients typically utilize the holter monitor for a full day or even up to several days, recording their heart rhythm continuously throughout daily activities. The collected data is then reviewed by a cardiologist, who can determine a diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment choices.

Continuous Electrocardiography for Vital Signs Assessment

Serial electrocardiography provides a powerful method for assessing vital signs in subjects. It allows the measurement of electrical activity over intervals, providing healthcare professionals with essential insights into clinical status. By analyzing electrocardiographic tracings, therapists can detect abnormalities that may indicate underlying diseases. Moreover, serial electrocardiography can aid in the treatment of pre-existing heart conditions.
