Expert Solution
Step 1

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that helps to assess the electrical activity of the heart. It helps to understand the heart rate and the frequency of the heart rate.

The strength and timing of the electrical activity are recorded in the ECG. The test helps to assess medical conditions like heart attack, atrial fibrillation, etc., caused by the narrowing of the coronary arteries.
