Abstract: Abstract One of the oldest and most reliable diagnostic tools in the cardiologist’s arsenal is the electrocardiogram (ECG). The basic technology behind the ECG has not changed in more than six decades. Nine electrodes, placed in specific locations on the torso, measure the electric potential at the surface of the body during the course of a heartbeat.
