	Electrocardiogram
		An electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) is usually done by a health professional, and the resulting EKG is interpreted by a doctor, such as an internist, family medicine doctor, electrophysiologist, cardiologist, anesthesiologist, or surgeon.
		A special EKG paste or small pads soaked in alcohol may be placed between the electrodes and your skin to improve conduction of the electrical impulses, but in many cases disposable electrodes are used that do not requite paste or alcohol.
		Elevated ST segments on the EKG may indicate an inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) or the sac that surrounds the heart (pericarditis).

		The evolution of the EKG machine is particularly evident in the development of the electrode, the component which conducts the body's electrical activity to the machine.
		A standard EKG is obtained by placing 12 small electrodes on the patient's body in a specific pattern.
		The EKG machine is then turned on, and the recording is made in just a few moments.

	Electrocardiogram (EKG) / Stress Test / Holter Monitor
		Because the EKG is a fast, simple, painless and relatively inexpensive test, it may be used as a part of an initial examination to help the physician narrow the scope of the diagnostic process.
		An EKG is one of the simplest and fastest procedures used to evaluate the heart.
		Signal-average EKG is done when arrhythmia is suspected but not seen on a resting EKG, since arrhythmias may be transient in nature and not seen during the short recording time of the resting EKG.

	Electrocardiogram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lead II An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG, abbreviated from the German Elektrokardiogramm) is a graphic produced by an electrocardiograph, which records the electrical voltage in the heart in the form of a continuous strip graph.
		It is the prime tool in cardiac electrophysiology, and has a prime function in screening and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.
		This turns into the P wave on the EKG, which is upright in II, III, and aVF (since the general electrical activity is going towards those leads), and inverted in aVR (since it is going away from that lead).

	EKG
		Electrocardiogram, EKG or ECG: An EKG is an important part of the initial evaluation of a patient who is suspected to have a heart related problem.
		The EKG can provide important information about the patient's heart rhythm, a previous heart attack, increased thickness of heart muscle, signs of decreased oxygen delivery to the heart, and problems with conduction of the electrical current from one portion of the heart to another.
		For example, the EKG tracing shown above demonstrates an acute or ongoing heart attack involving the bottom (or inferior portion of the heart).
