BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

The heart generates by itself an electrical activity which is transmitted through all the organ and produces its contraction. The Electrocardiogram is no other than the graphical representation of this electrical activity.

Diagnosis of heart diseases such as Arrhytmias, Coronary Artery Disease or Conduction System alterations depends on EKG interpretation. In addition, the electrocardiogram can be useful in other anomalies such as Thromboembolism or electrolyte disorders.
