Recording electricity flowing through the heart is done using an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), which captures the heart's electrical activity. Electrodes attached to the skin detect the electrical impulses generated by the heart as it beats, allowing for the assessment of heart rhythm, rate, and overall cardiac health. This non-invasive procedure is crucial for diagnosing various heart conditions, such as arrhythmias and ischemia. The resulting graph provides valuable insights into how well the heart is functioning.
What else can I help you with?
How does the heart rely on electricity?
It has it's own electric pulse to keep itself running by keeping the blood flowing through it.

What is heart process?
the hearts process is to keep the blood flowing through out your whole body
What structures of the heart keep blood flowing in one direction.?
One directional valves keep blood in the heart flowing in the right direction. There are three valves: biscupid valve, semilunar valve and tricuspid valve. These open to let the blood flow through then close to prevent the blood flowing back in the wrong direction making the heart less efficient.
Why are there four valves in the heart?
2 of these valves (one on each side) stop blood from flowing back into the atria chambers of the heart when the heart is contracting and expelling blood. The other two are there to stop blood flowing out of the ventricles when the heart is filling up with blood. One stops blood flowing through the aorta to supply the body and the other stops it flowing through the pulmonary artery to the lungs.
What part of the heart opens to allow blood in?
The heart valves open when blood is flowing through. They close to prevent backflow.
