Introduction:

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a graph that shows a patient’s heart rate in the form of wave components, such as P, Q, R, S, T, and U. It records the electric signals of the heart using the electrodes placed on the chest of the patient. The doctors interpret the ECG through a systemic approach.
