Widely recognised in cardiology, the ECG remains a key diagnostic tool for identifying heart problems and ensuring long-term cardiac monitoring.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool that measures and records the electrical activity of the heart. It involves hands-on practice on manikins using ECG equipment. The maximum number of people per session is 5.
ECG Background and Technique

An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a quick, safe, and non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart.

Background of ECG

The history of ECG dates back to the early 1900s when Willem Einthoven developed the first practical electrocardiograph. Since then, it has become a standard medical procedure for evaluating heart health. By measuring electrical impulses, the ECG provides doctors with valuable insights into heart rhythm, rate, and performance.

ECG Technique

The process is simple and painless:

  • Electrode Placement: Small sensors are placed on the chest, arms, and legs.

  • Signal Recording: The machine records electrical signals from different leads or viewpoints.

  • Analysis: The resulting graph is reviewed by healthcare professionals to detect abnormalities such as arrhythmias, ischemia, or heart enlargement.

Benefits of ECG

  • Early Detection: Identifies heart conditions before they become critical.

  • Non-Invasive: No needles or surgical procedures are needed.

  • Quick Results: The test usually takes only a few minutes.

  • Treatment Guidance: Helps doctors decide on the best treatment plan.

  • Routine Checkups: Useful for ongoing heart health monitoring.
