What is ECG ? or What is an EKG ( Electrocardiograph) ?

An electrocardiogram or ECG is a test that measures your heart's electrical activity to see if it works normally or not. An ECG records the rhythm and activity of the heart on a moving paper strip or line on a screen.

In other words ECG machine is the physiological function detecting equipment to record waveform of electric activity of the heart.  It can provide the basic information of various heart diseases for diagnosis and treatment use.

ECG  is helpful to the analysis and cognition of various arrhythmias and the understanding of the influence on the cardiac muscle exerted by certain drugs, electrolyte disorder and acid-base imbalance, therefore this equipment plays an important role in heart disease examination

Your doctor can read and interpret the peaks and dips on ECG paper or screen to see if the unusual or abnormal activity occurs. ECG machine (electrocardiograph) is medical equipment or medical device which measures and record the electrical activity of the heart. ECG leads or electrodes are placed to the patient thanks to Conductive ECG Jelly

ECG lead placement is done by ECG technician and after switching on the machine. It starts acquiring 12 lead ECG from the patient. ECG test is very common medical cardiac patients. ECG lead placement or ECG electrode placement is essential for good ECG signal. Normal ECG or abnormal ECG reading are interpreted by the physician doctor or cardiologist. 

An electrocardiograph is ECG instrument which records ECG wave and ECG interpretation on a special ECG chart paper. Whereas Electrocardiogram is ECG test report which shows ECG tracing and EKG interpretation recorded on ECG chart paper. ECG graph test reports also known as EKG test report.

ECG full form is electrocardiograph or electrocardiogram.

• Electrocardiogram definition : Electrocardiogram is ECG test report.
• Electrocardiograph definition : Electrocardiograph is ECG machine/ instrument.

The Word EKG (German name) comes from the early 20th-century Greek word kardia. German acronym EKG for Elektrokardiogramm and this represents that Germans physicians were pioneers in the field of medical innovation and ECG is American name of the same EKG.

The Principle of Operation of an ECG machine:-

ECG is the waveform of bioelectrical changes on the skin which are caused by the successive stimulation from pacemaker to atrium and to ventricle in each cardiac cycle and which are detected and displayed by the electrocardiograph. ECG is the objective indicator of the generating, conduction and recovery process of cardiac stimulation.

The synchronous electrocardiograph is highly praised as the machine of detecting ECG by the clinic medicine at home and abroad, which can synchronously gather the ECG signal on skin from multiple channels and realize inputting multichannel signals synchronously, and therefore the electrophysiological characteristics of every part of the heart during each cardiac pulse can be observed easily, which is conducive to the diagnosis of diseases concerning cardiac nerve conduction and cardiac dynamics.

An ECG machine monitors and records the electrical activity of the heart. ECG machine, also known as an electrocardiograph.

ECG Machine Type and ECG Machine Price Range : 

There are many types of electrocardiogram machine, and it's important to know which one best suits your needs when looking for the best ECG machine for the hospital. Here's a guide to help you understand the various types of ecg test machine available in the market.
