In the quiet chambers of the chest's embrace,
A tale of the heart unfolds with grace.
With electrodes small, a dance begins,
A rhythm charted in electrical spins.

On the skin's canvas, they gently lay,
Capturing whispers as the heart holds sway.
A symphony of beats, a pulsing song,
In the language of waves, we all belong.

P waves arise, a flutter's start,
Atrial ballet, a dance of the heart.
Upper chambers whisper, a gentle art,
In the ECG's tale, where life charts.

Then comes the QRS, a bold ballet,
Ventricular rhythms in the grand display.
A surge of power, a heartbeat's might,
On the graph, they dance, a pulsing light.

T wave follows, a reprieve, a rest,
Ventricles recover, in the graph's nest.
Electrical waves in a calming quest,
A moment's pause, a heart at its best.

Graphed upon paper, a story unfolds,
In the language of lines, a saga it molds.
Patterns and pulses, intervals in line,
Health's narrative, in each waveform, we find.

In routine checks or emergencies dire,
The ECG's whispers, a heart's entire.
A language decoded by skilled hands,
In the script of heartbeats, where life stands.

Arrhythmias echo, ischemia's plea,
In the dance of waves, a tale to see.
Myocardial whispers, a silent decree,
A heartbeat's ballad, in waves so free.

In the realm of the cardiograph's art,
Experts decipher, with a knowing heart.
Clinical decisions, where expertise weaves,
A life's intricate tale, the ECG conceives.
