A good ECG reading, also known as an electrocardiogram, is one that provides clear and accurate information about the heart's electrical activity. A normal ECG typically has the following characteristics:
1. Sinus Rhythm: The heart is beating in a regular pattern originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is the heart's natural pacemaker.
2. Rate: The heart rate is between 60 - 100 beats per minute (bpm), which is considered normal for adults at rest.
3. Intervals: Important intervals such as the PR interval, QRS complex, and QT interval are within normal limits. For instance, the PR interval should be between 0.12 - 0.20 seconds, the QRS complex should last no more than 0.10 seconds, and the QT interval should be appropriate for the heart rate.
4. Waveform: The P wave, QRS complex, and T wave are present and have the correct shape and duration.
5. No Abnormalities: There are no signs of arrhythmias, conduction problems, or other abnormalities that could indicate a heart condition.
