Proper placement of the ECG electrodes is essential for which reason?

A) To ensure real-time detection of arrhythmias
B) To prevent painful removal of the electrodes
C) To facilitate capture of all leads
D) To reduce ventricular arrhythmias

ECG Electrodes

Small, adhesive sensors placed on the skin to record electrical activity of the heart during an Electrocardiogram (ECG) test.

Arrhythmias

Irregular heartbeats or rhythms, which can be harmless or a sign of serious heart conditions, requiring medical attention.

Leads Capture

In medical monitoring, the acquisition of electronic signals from electrodes attached to the skin, crucial for diagnostics such as ECG.
