Deviations from this line indicate electrical activity associated with heartbeats, such as P waves, QRS complexes, and T waves.

What is the difference between an MRI and a EEG?

Both measure electrical activity -- the ECG in the heart and the EEG in the brain.An EEG is an electroencephalogram and an ECG also known as an EKG is an electrocardiogram. An EEG records brainwave/electrical activity. An ECG records the electrical activity that the heart produces.


What does an electrocardiogram record about the heart's electrical activity?

An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the heart's electrical activity, showing the heart's rhythm and any abnormalities in the heart's electrical system.


What is echo stress test for?

The stress allows doctors to view electrical activity in the heart while it is working very hard. The echo cardiogram allows doctors to actually see what happens in the heart and the heart valves while the heart is working hard. These tests are used diagnose heart trouble or to rule out heart trouble as the cause of particular symptoms.
