Electrical conduction in the heart produces a heartbeat; electrical signals are sent to the heart muscle upon each contraction, causing the heart to pump blood. These electrical impulses are recorded by an electrocardiogram (ECG), which makes it possible to evaluate electrical conduction and cardiac rhythm. ECG is a non-invasive technique used to assess pacemaker function and perioperative heart health. Ten electrodes are used in the 12-lead ECG, the gold standard for diagnosing cardiac illness and anatomy, to record the electrical activity of the heart from various perspectives. With wireless data transmission to the cloud, this technology is now included into emergency and ambulance situations, streamlining processes and improving signal quality. The purpose of this observational study is to examine 12-lead electrocardiogram data for better clinical application and diagnosis.
