adrenaline speeds the heart and the ecg will reflect that.

The RR interval of ECG vary during normal respiration because of the sinus arrhythmia.
LeadsThe term "lead" in electrocardiography causes much confusion because it is used to refer to two different things Limb leadsUnipolar vs. bipolar leadsPrecordial leadsClinical lead groups
There are no waves in an electrocardiogram. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is performed by putting electrodes on the body and measuring heart activity directly.
Cpt code 93000 is used for an electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; with interpretation and report. These electrodes are placed on a patient's chest to record the electrical activity of the heart. A physician interprets the findings. This code is used to report the combined technical and professional components of an ECG. Revenue Code 730 which is listed as: EKG/ECG (Electrocardiogram)--General; would be the correct code to use with cpt 93000.
Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed on the skin.
An electrocardiogram technician performs an ECG by attaching electrodes to a patient and then pulling switches on an ECG machine to trace electrical impulses transmitted by the heart. A doctor then inspects these readings to analyze the patient's heart condition.
ECG A portable, limited use electrocardiogram (ECG) recording device (100) is provided for diagnosing cardiac problems. The device (100) includes a cover (102) hingedly connected to a base (104) provided with a pair of spaced apart, tactile-sensing electrodes (117) engageable with the patient's hands (118) during an ECG recording and at least one indicator light (119) signaling a start and finish status of the ECG recording. A circuit (124) is electrically connected to the electrodes (117) and the status indicator light (119) and includes a processor (126) and memory (127) for receiving and storing ECG signals from the patient touching the electrodes (117). The cover (102) has an outer face (105) provided with preprinted mailing information (107) for returning the recording device in a folded, closed position to a location for retroactively analyzing the stored ECG signals. The device (100) may be disposed of following analysis of the stored ECG signals.
On the patient's left side. That's where the majority of the electrodes are. This allows the leads to be draped over as little of the patient as possible and reduces movement. Plus, it allows you to see most of the electrodes in case of any problems.
An ECG is an electrocardiography. It is used to detect and record the electrical impulses of the heart. An ECG is non-invasive and may be used as a diagnostic tool to detect abnormalities.

ECG and EKG are the same used to map the electrical activity of heart
The ECG sign of subendocardial ischemia is ST segment depression. Note that ECG is used more now that EKG.
