A recording of the electrical activity of the heart. Abbreviated ECG and EKG. An ECG is a simple, noninvasive procedure. Electrodes are placed on the skin of the chest and connected in a specific order to a machine that, when turned on, measures electrical activity all over the heart. Output usually appears on a long scroll of paper that displays a [..]

A line graph that shows changes in the electrical activity of the heart over time. It is made by an instrument called an electrocardiograph. The graph can show that there are abnormal conditions, such [..]

A record of the activity of the myocardium

Also known as: ECG, EKG

Also called EKG or ECG. A test that records the electrical activity of the heart; it is used to help diagnose certain heart abnormalities.

1904, from electro- + cardiogram.

A recording of electrical currents that flow through the heart in the form of a series of waves and complexes that are separated by regular intervals.

A test used for recording the heart's electrical activity. It is helpful for detecting damage of the heart muscle, and also shows abnormalities in the rhythms, also known as dysrhythmia or arrhythmia.

A test to record the rhythm and electrical activity of your heart.

(ue-lek´´tro-kar´de-uo-gram´´) A recording of the electrical activity that accompanies the cardiac cycle; ECG or EKG. electroencephalogram

The wave ike tracing represnting the impulses of the conduction system of the heart muscle.

This is a non invasive procedure, where electrodes are positioned on the chest and connected to a device that records the electrical activity of the heart, output as a graph.

an external, noninvasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart.

(n) a graphical recording of the cardiac cycle produced by an electrocardiograph

An electrocardiogram, also called an EKG or ECG, is a simple, painless test that records the heart's electrical activity. An EKG shows: How fast your heart is beating Whether the rhythm of your h [..]

The recording made by electrode pads located on the patient's chest to monitor heart rate and rhythm. These are connected to a monitor and used routinely in the intensive care unit. [Click Here T [..]

A test that measures the electrical activity of the heart and detects heart problems.

A test that takes recordings of the electrical activity of the heart.

A test that takes recordings of the electrical activity of the heart.

An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a way of recording the electrical activity of the heart. Numerous electrodes are attached around the body that can sense the tiny electrical changes as the body stimulate [..]

The electrocardiogram is a test of the way the electrical impulses flow through the heart. Abnormalities may indicate that a heart attack has occurred in the past. If performed during symptoms suggest [..]

Definition: An investigation whereby the electrical activity of the heart is measured and portrayed.

a recording of the electrical activity of the heart, used to diagnose cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction.

A recording of the heart's electrical activity made by attaching a set of electrodes to the skin.

A printout of an analysis of the electrical activity in the heart. Elbow Dysplasia

A simple and painless test to record the heart's electrical activity. This can provide useful information about the state of the heart and can give indications if the heart is affected by vasculi [..]

A test that takes recordings of the electrical activity of the heart.

A line graph that shows changes in the electrical activity of the heart over time. It is made by an instrument called an electrocardiograph. The graph can show that there are abnormal conditions, such as blocked arteries, changes in electrolytes (particles with electrical charges), and changes in the way electrical currents pass through the heart t [..]

A graphic recording that shows electrical activity generated by the heart muscle. It is used to help diagnose specific cardiac anomalies. such as disturbances of heart rhythm and conduction.

a graphic recording of the electrical activity of the heart. electroencephalogram (EEG)

a test that records the electrical activity of the heart, shows abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias or dysrhythmias), and detects heart muscle damage. The test uses measurements of the heart's electric [..]

A test that records on graph paper the electrical activity of the heart via small electrode patches attached to the skin. An EKG helps a physician determine the causes of abnormal heartbeat or detect heart damage.

Measurement of electrical activity associated with heartbeats. End-Stage Organ Disease

A graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart. Up to 12 sensors placed on different parts of the body record electrical activity from different areas of the heart. An Electrocardi [..]

A test that records the electrical activity of the heart. Measures the rate and regularity of heart beats, the size and position of the chambers, presence of damage to the heart, and the effects of dr [..]
