ECG PART VIII - ECG VS ECHOCARDIOGRAM
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that records the heart’s electrical activity to assess rhythm, rate, and overall heart health. It helps detect arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions quickly and noninvasively. Electrodes placed on the skin capture signals that provide detailed information about heart function. ECGs are widely used in medical exams, emergency care, and fitness assessments to monitor cardiovascular health and guide treatment decisions effe
