What is the difference between ECG and ECG?
"Electrocardiogram" (ECG) is a version of the English language of the German word "electrocardiogram" (ECG). Both words refer to the same procedure that is used to measure the electrical activity of the heart and the diagnosis of heart problems. There is no difference between ECG and ECG, except spelling. However, both ECG and ECG are the right terms in America, which is usually referred to as ECG to distinguish from a similar abbreviation sounding for electroencephalogon (EEG), which measures brain wool instead of heart electrical waves. Other countries except America tend to use ECG abbreviation, although this is not always the case.
The root word "electro" or "electro" means electricity. “Cardio” or “Cardio” is used to refer to the heart. "Gram" or "gramm" means writing. The procedure is called ECG and ECG because it uses the device to measure electrical pulses created by the heart and then records or writes, these results to be analyzed by a doctor.
ECG and ECG, called electrocardiograph, is connected to the body at specific locations via cable electrodes. Electrical impulses in the heart indicate that the heart muscle is downloading, causing a heart rhythm. These electrical pulses can be detected through the skin of electrocardiographic electrodes. It records electrical signals in the form of undulating lines, either digitally on the computer screen or on a piece of paper using movable ink needles. These machines are sufficiently sensitive to the detection of minor discrepancies, which can then be used to diagnose many types of heart problems.
The procedure itself is painless, non -invasive and generally quickly, within minutes, including the time required to set up and remove the machine and electrodes. Many people are concerned about the idea of an electrical is connected to the body and often fears the risk of electric shock. People with pacemakers also often worry aboutthat the procedure will interfere with the pacemaker. However, during ECG or ECG, electricity does not pass through the body at all; The device is simply used to detect the body's own electricity. ECG or ECGs are generally considered to be health risks and complications, although some people can develop some skin irritation or allergic reaction to adhesive used on electrodes.
