Introduction on ECG

ECG stands for electrocardiograph which is a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart during a cardiac cycle. To obtain a standard ECG a patient is connected to the machine with three electrical leads (one to each wrist and to the left ankle) that continuously monitor the heart activity.

The above-given diagram is of normal ECG.
