Sure, here are two common methods:
1. Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG):
• ECG is a diagnostic tool that measures the electrical activity of the heart over time.
• Electrodes are placed on the skin, usually on the chest, arms, and legs, and they record the electrical impulses that occur as the heart beats.
• ECG can detect irregularities in heart rhythm, such as arrhythmias, and provide information about the heart’s health.
2. Heart Rate Monitoring (HRM):
• Heart rate can be monitored using wearable devices like fitness trackers or smartwatches.
• These devices use optical sensors to detect changes in blood volume under the skin, which are associated with each heartbeat.
• Heart rate monitoring provides real-time feedback on heart rate trends during rest, exercise, and daily activities, helping individuals track their cardiovascular health and fitness levels.
