However, an echocardiogram is a different test, also conducted for heart activity. An electrocardiogram is a machine used to record the heart's electrical activity. Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and some other tests are done for patients with cardiac arrest. ECG and EKG refer to the same thing.

Before the procedure, patients should have an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) to check the heart’s rhythm and function. Some patients need computed tomography or transoesophageal echocardiography to exclude the presence of a blood clot in the heart.

The attending provider wrote “Agree with electrocardiogram interpretation”. An echocardiogram showed severely reduced global systolic function with an EF of 20-25% and an LV apical thrombus. An echocardiogram showed an EF of 20-25%. The computer diagnostic algorithm diagnosed “Sinus rhythm. Normal EKG”. Normal ECG.

Traditional tools like stethoscopes, blood pressure gauges, and electrocardiograms (ECG) are fundamental for standard diagnostic practices. This transformation extends to the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms developed by startups, which analyze medical imaging data such as ECGs, echocardiograms, and cardiac MRI scans.
