Test done to measure brain wave pattern or to look for seizures.
A graphic representation of the electrical current generated by the electrical system that controls heart-muscle cells. The EKG is a useful tool in diagnosing the presence and severity of many forms of heart disease. However, the heart may be severely impaired, and still show no typical or characteristic EKG changes, so the EKG is only one of the tools used to detect and monitor heart disorders.
A test to record the electric currents produced by the heart.
A heart test, usually done before surgery
a graphical recording of the cardiac cycle produced by an electrocardiograph
Is a recording of the heart beat patterns at the time that the EKG is given. It is used to identify any irregularities in the heart beat patterns.
A test that records the electrical impulses of your childâ€(tm)s heartbeat on paper.
a test that records the hearts electrical activity as a graph.
electrocardiogram; a study showing the electrical activity of the heart
Electrocardiogram. A test utilized to assess heart rhythm and function by measuring the electrical patterns present on the surface of the body.
Electrocardiogram (also called ECG). More information
An electrocardiogram, a measurement of the heartbeat.
abbreviation for electrocardiogram; measures heart activity.
Electrocardiogram; tracing of the electrical activity of the heart
Recordings of the electrical activity of the heart used to diagnose specific cardiac abnormalities.
12 lead electrocardiogram
Electrocardiogram. For some strange reason uses the C when spelled out and the K in the acronym (based on the German spelling -kardi-). A line on a graph representing the electrical activity of the heart.
(electrocardiogram): A recording of the electrical activity of the heart. An electrocardiogram is a simple, non-invasive procedure.
Electrocardiogram. Recording of the activity of your heart beat to identify any cardiovascula problem.
(electrocardiogram): A medical test that traces the electrical activity of the heart.
Electrocardiogram - a device for measuring and displaying the electrical impulses within the heart.
or ECG (electrocardiogram) - a recording of the heart's electrical activity using sensors attached to the limbs and chest
The recording of the electrical impulse of the heart.
A test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It is of value for diagnosing cases of abnormal cardiac rhythm and myocardial damage. ( see myocardium)
A graphic tracing of heartbeats used to help diagnose heart problems.
A test that measures the heart's action. Also called an electrocardiogram.
an electrocardiogram, a simple test that measures the electrical impulses produced by the heart.
Electrocardiogram; also abbreviated ECG
An ECG is very useful in determining whether a person has heart disease. If a person has chest pain or palpitations, an ECG is helpful in determining if the heart is beating normally. More Information
or ECG - Electrocardiogram, a diagnostic test used to measure the heart's electrical activity
Abbreviation for electrocardiogram. A test in which a graphic record is produced to record the electrical activity of the heart to detect abnormal transmission of the heart impulses through the conductive tissues of the heart muscles. An EKG allows diagnosis of specific cardiac abnormalities. Leads are affixed to certain points on the patient's chest, usually with an adhesive gel that promotes transmission of the electric impulse to the recording device. The patient is positioned lying down on his/her back on an examining table and asked to lie quietly during the test. It takes approximately a half hour to complete the test
A tracing of the electrical activity of the heart.
electrocardiogram; a test that shows the heart's activity. From the Latin and Greek words "electro" (elektor") meaning "beaming sun," "cardio" meaning "heart," and "gram" meaning "written."
(electrocardiogram)- the heart's electrical output as measured by electrodes placed on the skin of the torso.
Electrocardiogram. Graphic record of the heart's electrical impulses. It is used to find out if the heart rate and rhythm are normal or if any damage has occurred.
This stands for electrocardiogram and tracks electrical impulses in the heart.
