The leads are connected to low-resistance contacts on the chest of the subject and the input to the device is derived from the minute electrical currents that flow towards and away from them as a result of the heart's contractions and relaxations.Electrocardiograph (ECG, EKG)A test of a patient's heartbeat that involves placing leads, or detectors, on the patient's chest to record electrical impulses in the heart. This test will produce a strip, or picture record of the heart's electrical functioning.Mentioned in: Congenital Heart Disease, Sick Sinus Syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndromeelectrocardiograph Related to electrocardiograph: ECG, precordial leadsSynonyms for electrocardiographnoun medical instrument that records electric currents associated with contractions of the heartSynonymsRelated Words- cardiac monitor
