2. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

   Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG [a]), a recording of the heart's electrical activity through repeated cardiac cycles. [4] It is an electrogram of the heart which is a graph of voltage versus time of the electrical activity of the heart [ 5 ] using electrodes placed on the skin.

3. Electrophysiological techniques for clinical diagnosis

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiological...

   EKGs provide information about heart rate, heart rhythms and provide some data on underlying myocardium, valves and coronary vessels. EKGs can be used to aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, left ventricular hyptertrophy, valvulopathies, and coronary artery disease.

4. Implantable loop recorder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantable_loop_recorder

   The ILR monitors the electrical activity of the heart, continuously storing information in its circular memory (hence the name "loop" recorder) as electrocardiograms (ECGs). Abnormal electrical activity - arrhythmia is recorded by "freezing" a segment of the memory for later review.

5. Heart rate monitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate_monitor

   A heart rate monitor (HRM) is a personal monitoring device that allows one to measure/display heart rate in real time or record the heart rate for later study. It is largely used to gather heart rate data while performing various types of physical exercise. Measuring electrical heart information is referred to as electrocardiography (ECG or EKG).

6. Holter monitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holter_monitor

   For patients having more transient symptoms, a cardiac event monitor which can be worn for a month or more can be used. [1] When used to study the heart, much like standard electrocardiography, the Holter monitor records electrical signals from the heart via a series of electrodes attached to the chest. Electrodes are placed over bones to ...

7. Electrocardiography in myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography_in...

   The 2018 European Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association/World Health Federation Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction for the ECG diagnosis of the ST segment elevation type of acute myocardial infarction require new ST elevation at J point of at least 1mm (0.1 mV) in two contiguous leads with the cut-points: ≥1 mm in all leads ...

8. Cardiac stress test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_stress_test

   This stress response can be induced through physical exercise (usually a treadmill) or intravenous pharmacological stimulation of heart rate. [1] As the heart works progressively harder (stressed) it is monitored using an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor. This measures the heart's electrical rhythms and broader electrophysiology. Pulse rate ...

9. Wireless ambulatory ECG - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_ambulatory_ecg

   Wireless ambulatory electrocardiography (ECG) is a type of ambulatory electrocardiography with recording devices that use wireless technology, such as Bluetooth and smartphones, for at-home cardiac monitoring (monitoring of heart rhythms).
