Electrocardiogram An Electrocardiogram commonly called ECG or EKG is a diagnostic test that helps to evaluate the heart functioning by determining the electrical activity of the heart. An electrical impulse or wave is created with each heartbeat from the upper chamber of the heart. This wave helps the muscles to pump the blood from the heart. The ECG measures the timing of each signals that are created.
With the help of ECG, the physician can measure how long the electrical impulse may passes through the heart. It also helps to determine the heart disorders like heart attack, cardiac blockage, abnormal heart rhythm, etc.
