Kardiográfiában

Kardiográfiában, or cardiography in English, refers to the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart. This is most commonly achieved through an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). An ECG uses electrodes placed on the skin of the chest, arms, and legs to detect the tiny electrical impulses that cause the heart muscle to contract. These impulses are then amplified and recorded over time, producing a visual representation of the heart's rhythm and electrical conduction.

The resulting cardiograph, or ECG tracing, provides valuable information about the heart's rate, rhythm, and the presence of any abnormalities. Doctors use cardiography to diagnose a wide range of cardiac conditions, including arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart muscle thickening, and problems with the heart's electrical pathways. It is a non-invasive, painless, and relatively quick diagnostic tool that plays a crucial role in cardiology. Interpretation of the ECG requires specialized knowledge to identify deviations from normal patterns.
