Question

When a person suffers from chest pain the doctor immidietly takes an ECG. Why?

Answer 1

$\huge\bold{ECG:}$

It stands for Electrocardiogram.

It records the electrical impulses when the heart is beating that means these impulses are recorded on a moving strip of paper or on a screen as because it shows heart's electrical activity as line tracings on paper.

That's why the doctor takes ECG.

♣ECG

✍️ An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that is used to look at the heart's electrical function.

✍️ An ECG (which stands for electrocardiogram) is a test that measures the electrical pulses that trigger your heartbeat. These pulses are recorded by electrodes that stick  to your chest.

✍️ They send signals to a machine called an electrocardiograph, which displays the results as a continuous wavy line with a series of spikes. Your doctor is then able to analyse the pattern and identify any problems.

♣ What happens during an ECG?

♦ During an ECG test:

✍️You’ll lie on a bed in hospital or your doctor’s surgery

✍️Electrodes will be attached to your arms and chest

✍️You’ll be asked to lie still and breathe normally

✍️The electrodes will record your heart’s electrical activity

✍️The electrocardiograph will display the activity on a monitor and on paper

✍️Your doctor will examine the activity to determine whether it’s normal or irregular

♣ Need an ECG?

♦There is need of an ECG in order to:

✍️Diagnose irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmias)

✍️Identify any structural problems with your heart’s chambers

✍️See how effective any previous heart surgery has been

✍️Determine if you have coronary artery disease

♣What are the risks of having an ECG?

✍️An ECG is a very safe procedure and there are virtually no risks associated with the test. You may experience very minor skin discomfort when the electrodes are removed.
