Expert Solution

Step 1 Introduction on ECG (Electrocardiogram):

An electrocardiogram is a very essential machine that records the electrical signals in our heart. It's a very common and a non invasive test used to quickly detect, treat and monitor our heart's health. Doctor uses an electrocardiogram to determine or detect Abnormal heart rhythm, blocked or narrowed arteries, whether there is a case of prior heart attack, and how well the pacemaker are working. There is no risk of electrical shock because the electrodes used do not produce electric current that may shock the body, rather the electrodes only record the electrical activity of our heart. Up to 12 sensors or electrodes will be attached to the chest and limbs.
