What is an electrocardiogram machine?
What will be an ideal response?
Because the heart is electrically active, it generates an electrical signal that can be monitored. By positioning electrodes on the chest, an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) machine can display or print an electrocardiogram, which is a two-dimensional representation of electrical heart activity. Trained health professionals can "read" this two-dimensional representation of electrical heart activity as part of the diagnostic process for detecting heart disease or abnormality. EKG machines are commonly small and transported by hand or by a small utility cart.
