The electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs.
The electrical signals from the electrodes are sent to the ECG machine where they are amplified and recorded.
The ECG recording is a printout of the electrical activity of the heart over time.
There are two main types of multi-lead ECG machines: 12-lead and 3-lead.
12-lead machines are the most common type and use 10 electrodes placed on the body to record the electrical activity from 12 different leads or perspectives.
3-lead machines are less common and use only 3 electrodes to record the electrical activity from 3 leads.
Non-invasive and painless procedure
Provides valuable information about the heart's electrical activity
Can help diagnose a variety of heart conditions
Can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for heart conditions
The patient will lie down on a bed or examination table.
The technician will clean the areas where the electrodes will be placed and apply the electrodes.
The technician will connect the electrodes to the ECG machine.
