A resting electrocardiogram commonly referred to as a 12-lead EKG allows for the evaluation of your heart's electrical activity while you are at rest. This requires placing electrodes patches on your chest, arms, and legs to monitor the signals produced by your heart. The resulting tracing often shows information about your heart rate, rhythm, and

An electrocardiogram at rest is a fundamental tool used to establish a baseline for an individual's heart function. This non-invasive procedure records the electrical activity of the myocardium as it beats, producing a visual representation known as an electrocardiographic tracing. During a resting ECG, the patient typically lies down while electro
