An electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as an electrocardiograph, is a valuable instrument used to assess the rhythmic activity of the heart. During a resting ECG, a individual remains still while electrodes are placed on their chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes record the small electrical signals generated by the heart as it beats.

Electrocardiography at Rest: A Baseline Assessment
An electrocardiogram (ECG) or EKG at rest is a fundamental method in cardiology. It provides a picture of the heart's electrical activity while a patient is quietly resting. This baseline assessment helps to detect any abnormalities in the heart's rhythm or conduction, which can indicate underlying heart conditions. During a resting ECG, electrodes
