Meaning and Clinical Context
A graphical recording of the electrical activity of the heart over time, obtained via electrodes placed on the skin, used to diagnose cardiac arrhythmias, ischemia, and other heart conditions.
Electrocardiograms are fundamental in cardiology for diagnosing arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, myocardial ischemia/infarction, and electrolyte imbalances. Standard 12-lead ECGs provide spatial information about cardiac electrical activity from different anatomical perspectives.

Example in Use
English: The 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF, consistent with an acute inferior myocardial infarction.
Turkish: 12 derivasyonlu elektrokardiyogram, II, III ve aVF derivasyonlarında ST segment yükselmesi gösterdi, bu da akut inferior miyokard enfarktüsü ile uyumludur.
Clinical Notes
Scenario
Interpret a 12-lead ECG showing atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (HR 140 bpm) for a patient with palpitations.
Response Template
ECG shows [rhythm], [rate] bpm, [PR/QRS/QT intervals], with [presence/absence] of ischemic changes or arrhythmias.
