Multiple Choice

Electrocardiographs (ECGs or EKGs) provide data about the electrical activity of the heart. By placing a series of "leads" on a person's chest, the electrical activity of the heart can be recorded and analyzed in order to detect irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) and other conditions. The figure below shows a normal EKG tracing for one cardiac cycle.
