Ecg electrodes

An ECG stands for electrocardiogram. It is a tool used to detect a wide range of heart dysrhythmias using waveforms on a monitor. It is used by healthcare providers regularly in the hospital and by EMS. An electrocardiogram records the electrical signals in your heart.

It’s a standard and painless test used to detect heart problems and quickly monitor your heart’s health. Electrocardiograms — called ECGs or EKGs — are often done in a doctor’s office, a clinic, or a hospital room. ECG machines are standard equipment in operating rooms and ambulances. Some personal devices, such as smartwatches, offer ECG monitoring.

ECG records the electrical activity generated by heart muscle depolarizations, which propagate in pulsating electrical waves toward the skin. Although the electricity amount is, in fact, minimal, it can pick it up reliably with ECG electrodes attached to the skin (in microvolts or UV).

The full ECG setup comprises at least four electrodes placed on the chest or four extremities according to standard nomenclature (RA = right arm; LA = left arm; RL = right leg; LL = left leg). Of course, variations of this setup exist to allow more flexible and less intrusive recordings, for example, by attaching the electrodes to the forearms and legs. ECG electrodes are typically wet sensors, requiring a conductive gel to increase conductivity between skin and electrodes.
