A Brief on ECG

ECG or Electrocardiograph is a test that is used to assess the muscular and

electrical functionalities of the heart. It is a painless test which can be
conducted in a few minutes and results can also be read instantly. An
electrocardiograph is basically a graph of voltage plotted against time of
electrical activity of the heart.

The electrical activity of the heart - The electrical system is the power
source that makes the working of the heart possible in a nutshell. The
electrical impulses trigger the heartbeat that travels down a pathway
through the heart. These pathways are conduction pathways and they are
responsible for causing ventricles of the heart to contract and pump out
blood. The human heart has a natural pacemaker which produces these
electrical impulses all by itself. These electrical impulses generate an
electrical current that spreads over our body. An electrocardiogram
measures these currents in the form of wave graphs on a paper.

The electrodes of the electrocardiogram are placed on the skin to note the
normal working conditions of the heart. These electrodes detect the
electrical impulses occurring during each heartbeat. The impulses are
picked up from the changes in an electrical path on the skin. These
changes arise from the heart muscles and the electrophysiologic patterns
of the depolarizing.

Let’s have a look at some solved Multiple-choice questions on ECG
