Electrocardiography

E.C.G or E.K.G

An electrocardiogram abbreviated as
EKG or ECG - is a test that measures the
electrical activity of the heartbeat. With
each beat, an electrical impulse (or
“wave”) travels through the heart. This
wave causes the muscle to squeeze and
pump blood from the heart. A normal
heartbeat on ECG will show the timing of
the top and lower chambers
