ECG electrode
ECG electrode on a patient. Electrodes respond to electrical impulses in the heart. They are stuck to the skin with a removable sticky pad (white, square) and the cable (yellow) carries an electrical signal to an electrocardiography (ECG) machine. ECGs use a series of electrodes to pick up the electrical activity of the heart muscle. The characteristic trace produced as the heart beats and relaxes can be studied for signs of a heart disorder.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of monitoring a patient's heart activity using an ECG electrode. The image showcases a close-up view of the electrode, delicately placed on the patient's skin with a removable sticky pad. Connected to this electrode is a vibrant yellow cable that carries the electrical signal to an electrocardiography (ECG) machine. At Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, this advanced technique plays a vital role in diagnosing and studying heart disorders. By utilizing multiple electrodes strategically placed on the body, medical professionals can observe and analyze the characteristic trace produced as the heart beats and relaxes. The significance of this procedure lies in its ability to provide valuable insights into cardiac health. Through careful examination of these traces, doctors can identify any irregularities or abnormalities that may indicate potential issues within the patient's cardiovascular system. With cutting-edge equipment like this ECG machine and its accompanying wires and electrodes, healthcare providers are equipped with powerful diagnostic tools for effective cardiology evaluations. This photograph serves as a testament to modern medicine's continuous advancements in providing comprehensive care for patients' well-being. Captured by Science Photo Library at Leiden University Medical Center, this image encapsulates both innovation and dedication within 21st-century healthcare while highlighting Europe's commitment to advancing medical technology for improved diagnostics and treatment options.
