A resting electrocardiogram is a routine examination used to assess the function of your heart. During this exam, you will be instructed to stay still and connected to an ECG machine which measures the electrical signals emitted by your heart. This recording can show doctors possible issues with your heart's rhythm, such as arrhythmias.
Physical Stress Electrocardiography
Exercise stress electrocardiography (ECG) is a a valuable tool for evaluating the heart's function during physical activity. During this procedure, patients undergo a graded exercise protocol while their heart rhythm is recorded. Findings from the ECG provide valuable data about the heart's performance to respond to physical conditions, helping reveal potential abnormalities or concerns.

Vital Sign Correlation with Electrocardiographic Findings
Correlation among vital signs and electrocardiographic (ECG) findings can provide valuable information about a patient's overall health status. Significant variations in vital signs, such as increased heart rate or abnormal blood pressure, may correspond to specific ECG changes.
For instance, tachycardia, a rapid heart rate, can often be associated with irregular heartbeats visible on an ECG. Conversely, bradycardia, a slow heart rate, may suggest potential conduction deficiencies within the heart's electrical system. A thorough assessment of both vital signs and ECG findings is vital for diagnosing cardiovascular conditions and guiding treatment strategies.
