Electrocardiography (ECG) remains a cornerstone in cardiac diagnostics, providing invaluable insights into the heart's electrical activity. This article reviews the fundamental role of ECG in clinical practice, its diagnostic capabilities, and recent advancements, particularly the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on ECG interpretation. AI-powered algorithms are enhancing diagnostic accuracy, improving early detection of cardiac conditions, and streamlining clinical workflows, heralding a new era for cardiovascular care.
