This term is often used to describe a patient's cardiac condition, but this is not always obvious to people who are not familiar with medical terms. This is a brief introduction to the complex science of the heart, which can help us understand how our cardiovascular system works.

An ECG is a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart recorded using electrodes placed on the patient's chest. The electrical signals transmitted between these electrodes are recorded on paper or on a special monitor, which gives the doctor a visual representation of the patient's heartbeat status. Each ECG segment is divided into sections called complexes - they indicate the movement of blood through the heart in a certain order and reflect the work of the heart valves. The size of each complex also matters - the larger the complex, the more intense the blood flow through the heart chamber during its operation.

Typically, an ECG test is performed in a doctor's office or medical facility and takes anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the patient's device. When a doctor tells a patient the results of his test, the patient may be met with some anxiety or fear, since many people are hearing the name ECG for the first time.

Fortunately, for those who do not understand medical terminology, interpreting an ECG can be simple and understandable to a general audience. In the ECG image you can
