An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It is commonly used to diagnose various heart conditions, including abnormal heart rhythms, coronary artery disease, and myocardial infarction (heart attack).

During an ECG, electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes detect the electrical signals generated by the heart's muscle contractions and repolarizations, which are then recorded and printed out.

There are several types of ECG tests, including:

Resting ECG: You lie down for this type of ECG, and no movement is allowed during the test to avoid interference from other muscles. This type of ECG usually takes five to ten minutes.
Ambulatory ECG: For an ambulatory ECG, you wear a portable recording device for at least 24 hours. You are free to move around normally while the device is attached. This type of ECG is useful for detecting intermittent symptoms that may not show up on a resting ECG.
Exercise Stress Test: This type of ECG helps your doctor see how well your heart is working during physical activity. It involves having an ECG while you ride a stationary exercise bike or walk on a treadmill.
