Resting ECG (electrocardiogram)
What it measures
- An electrocardiogram measures the "electrical signature" of each heart beat
- A 12-lead ECG "looks" at the heart from 12 different angles
Health implications
- An abnormal ECG can identify coronary artery disease, an enlarged heart and disturbances in the electrical control of the heart (arrhythmia)
