Study Overview
Brief Summary
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.
Detailed Description
The heartbeat is a result of electrical conduction in the heart. The heart's contractions release electrical signals that trigger the heart muscle to pump blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. An electrocardiogram (ECG) records these electrical signals from each heartbeat, allowing for the observation of heart rhythm and the assessment of any abnormalities in electrical conduction. The ECG is a non-invasive monitoring tool used for evaluating heart health throughout the perioperative period and for checking the function of pacemakers. By analyzing the shape, size, and time intervals of these waveforms, ECGs provide visual representations that help healthcare professionals assess conditions related to heart valve diseases.
The 12-lead ECG is considered the gold standard for evaluating cardiac structure and diagnosing various heart conditions. This system consists of twelve leads created from ten electrodes, recording the heart rates electrical activity from different angles in three-dimensional space to understand the condition of various heart regions. Currently, 12-lead ECG machines are widely used in emergency and ambulance settings. They often incorporate integrated electrode patches that replace the traditional ten individual electrode patches, significantly simplifying the process and reducing errors. This integration improves signal transmission and quality compared to traditional ECG leads. Data is transmitted wirelessly, paired with mobile device software, and sent to the cloud to support diagnostic reports.
This study is an observational research project aimed at establishing and analyzing 12-lead ECG data. The goal is to utilize this data for more in-depth diagnostics and to observe its differences and clinical applications.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
ECG change related to position
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 30 minutes.
ECG ST segment elevation or depression might be attributed to varying body postures. The ST segments\' change to baseline will be compared by the investigators.
