What is an ECG?

 An ECG is a simple, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time. It’s like a snapshot of your heart’s electrical system! ⚡ By placing electrodes on the skin, we can detect the tiny electrical changes that occur with each heartbeat.

Why is it important?

ECGs help us diagnose a wide range of cardiac conditions, such as:

• Arrhythmias  💓
• Myocardial infarction  ❤️‍🩹
• Hypertrophy  🏋️‍♂️
• Electrolyte imbalances 🧂
• And much more!

How to Interpret an ECG:

Interpreting an ECG might seem daunting at first, but let’s break it down step by step:
