Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to provide an introduction to electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. The objectives are to: define an ECG; describe how the ECG relates to cardiac contraction, with specific reference to the conduction system of the heart; recognize sinus rhythm; list the indications for ECG monitoring; discuss the important features of a modern bedside cardiac monitor; describe where to position ECG electrodes; outline a suggested procedure for ECG monitoring; discuss the infection control issues related to ECG monitoring.

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

Components of the Electrocardiogram
The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage. When...
