Answer:
ECG = electrocardiogram.
EEG = electroencephalogram
Explanation:
The electrocardiogram is a simple and non-invasive exam that helps the cardiologist to assess how our heart is doing. Usually, it is requested in emergency cases, such as suspected myocardial infarction, or when the person needs to assess heart health.
The electrocardiogram provides a graphic representation of the electrical activity of the heart. Through it, it is possible to observe mainly if the heartbeat rhythm is normal or not and if the chambers of the heart are moving as they should. Thus, it is very useful for identifying arrhythmias, possible obstructions in blood flow and assessing whether the patient is in a good condition to exercise.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive monitoring test that records the electrical activity of the brain. It is performed with electrodes fixed on the scalp using an electrically conductive paste. It aims to record brain activity to detect possible neurological abnormalities. This test is best used to detect a variety of psychiatric and neurological diseases, both infectious and degenerative.
