Treadmill Test (TMT) is done to find the stress on the heart. On the machine the patient walks and the readings are taken.
Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) is the recording of the electrical activity of the heart over time via skin electrodes.
It is a noninvasive recording produced by an electrocardiograph. The etymology of the word is derived from electro, because it is related to electrical activity, cardio, Greek for heart, graph, a Greek root meaning “to write”.
Electrical impulses in the heart originate in the sinoatrial node and travel through conducting system to the heart muscle. The impulses stimulate the muscle fibres to contract and thus producing the systole. The electrical waves can be measured at selectively placed electrodes (electrical contacts) on the skin. Electrodes on different sides of the heart measure the activity of different parts of the heart muscle.
An ECG displays the voltage between pairs of these electrodes, and the muscle activity that they measure, from different directions, also understood as vectors. This display indicates the overall rhythm of the heart and weaknesses in different parts of the heart muscle. In myocardial infarction (MI), the ECG can identify damaged heart muscle. But it can only identify damage to muscle in certain areas, so it can’t rule out damage in other areas. The ECG cannot reliably measure the pumping ability of the heart; for which ultrasound-based (echocardiography) or nuclear medicine tests are used.
ECG is done with 12 channel and report is generated automatically by computer.
