Assertion : ECG is of immense diagonstic value in the cardiac diseases.
Reasoning : Defects in cardiac functions can be reflected in changes in the pattern of electrical potential recorded in the ECG.

A

If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

C

If the assertion is true but the reason is false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
An electrocardiogram is a medical test that defect cardiac (heart abnormalities) by measuring the electrical activity generated by the heart as it contracts.
Various heart problems that can be diagnosed by ECG include:
* Enlargement of the heart.
* Congenital heart defects involving the conducting system.
* Poor blood supply to the heart.
* Abnormal position of the heart.
* Disturbances of heart conducting system.
* Imbalances in the blood chemicals that control heart activity.
* That’s why ECG is of immense diagnostic valve in the cardiac disease.
* On the other hand EEG is an index of the brain functions. EEG or electroencephalogram represents the spontaneous electrical activity of the brain.
