Did you know electrocardiogram is abbreviated as both EKG and ECG? In German: Elektro-kardiographie, English: electrocardiography. An EKG is a record of electrical current in the heart over time. For many EMTs and Paramedics a 12-lead EKG is a vital tool in patient care. Discover the intricacies and minute considerations for acquiring quality diagnostic readings with pre-hospital electrocardiograms.
