This is a guide to preparing for and understanding the function of EKG (ECG) exams. A bit of terminology (Arrhythmia, Dysrhythmia or Tachycardia, anyone?) and a bit of how the heart functions round out your preparation to have an EKG done.
In this book, we will show you:
• Why your doctor may schedule an EKG/ECG • What to expect from this exam • Some terminology you may hear about the heart and the EKG/ECG • Some basics on how the heart works • Some reasons the heart struggles and what you can do about it
