ECGs of a normal heart rate, artwork
Electrocardiograms (ECG) of a normal heart rate, artwork. An ECG measures the electrical activity of the heart. The wave on the ECG appears upwards or downwards depending upon whether the electrical activity is going towards or away from the area of the body the electrode is placed on. This diagram shows 12 traces (or leads, upper 3 lines), which are obtained from placing 10 electrodes on the body, six on the chest and one on each arm and leg

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate beauty of a normal heart rate through a series of electrocardiograms (ECGs). The ECGs, which measure the electrical activity of the heart, are depicted in this print as elegant waves that gracefully move upwards or downwards depending on the direction of the electrical impulses. In this particular diagram, twelve traces or leads are displayed, each obtained by placing ten electrodes strategically on different areas of the body. Six electrodes rest on the chest while one is placed on each arm and leg. These leads provide comprehensive insights into various aspects of cardiac function and health. The fusion between science and art in this illustration not only captures our attention but also emphasizes how crucial it is to understand and monitor our heart's electrical activity for diagnostic purposes. With labels meticulously added to aid comprehension, this piece serves as an educational tool for medical professionals and enthusiasts alike. As we gaze at these mesmerizing patterns representing atrial depolarization, ventricular contraction, repolarization, and more, we are reminded of both the complexity and harmony within our bodies. This visual representation celebrates a healthy heartbeat while highlighting cardiology's vital role in diagnosing abnormalities. Science Photo Library has once again brought together creativity and scientific knowledge to produce an extraordinary piece that merges aesthetics with medicine seamlessly.
