Types of ECG (Electrocardiogram)
A resting 12-lead ECG is the standard test performed while lying still, while a stress or exercise ECG records the heart's activity during physical exertion on a treadmill to reveal problems not visible at rest. Continuous or ambulatory recordings, such as Holter monitoring, extend the ECG concept over 24 to 48 hours to catch intermittent rhythm disturbances that a single snapshot might miss.
