ECG 12-Lead Test

Yes, improper electrode placement can significantly impact the accuracy of ECG results. Incorrect placement can distort the recorded electrical signals, leading to misinterpretation of the ECG and potentially missing critical cardiac abnormalities.

A 12-lead ECG comprehensively assesses the heart's electrical activity, allowing healthcare professionals to detect cardiac abnormalities, including arrhythmias, conduction disturbances, ischemia, and infarction.

While a 12-lead ECG is valuable for detecting cardiac abnormalities, it does not provide direct information about the heart's structure or function. Additional imaging tests such as echocardiography or cardiac MRI may be needed to assess cardiac anatomy and function more comprehensively.
