This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many lives have been saved thanks to electrocardiography (a device that measures the electrical impulse of the heart). Electrocardiograms (EKG or ECG) can evaluate symptoms of heart disease, when risk factors for heart disease are present and more. The sophisticated 12-lead electrocardiography is often used to monitor for myocardial ischemia (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle). This though-provoking issue addresses ECG diagnostic effectiveness on heart conditions, the value of more or less leads, the status of computerized electrocardiography and more
