Understanding Electrocardiogram (ECG) Machines
A laboratory Electrocardiogram (ECG) machine is a medical device used to record the electrical activity of the heart. It works by placing electrodes on the skin, which detect electrical signals generated by the heart’s contractions. These signals are then displayed as a waveform on a monitor or printed output, allowing healthcare professionals to assess heart function, diagnose arrhythmias, and detect abnormalities like heart disease or electrolyte imbalances. ECG machines are essential in clinical diagnostics, research, and patient monitoring in hospitals, clinics, and cardiac labs, providing valuable insights into cardiovascular health.
