An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) machine is a device used for measuring heart activity. It records the electronic impulses made by the heart between heartbeats. It displays the heart's activities through a built-in screen or a print out. It is commonly used in most medical facilities.
An ambulatory EKG machine features a small recorder called a Holter monitor that a patient is required to wear everyday.
It creates a graphic record of the electrical currents of the heart.
It is mainly used for recording and describing the unusual electrical activities of the heart that may be caused by sleep problems, emotional problems, or stress.
It is used continuously as the patient goes about his normal daily routine.
It is available in two models: the continuous and the intermittent. The continuous model is used nonstop for two days, while the intermittent model is used for weeks or months but only records once in a while.
