To distinguish between pericarditis and a heart attack.
Electrocardiogram or Electrocardiograph (ECG or EKG) detects small electrical signals given off by the heart during contraction. The machine is used to measure the rate in which the heart beats and the regularity of the beating.

Blood and other tests done to diagnose an illness or check on health all use math. Blood pressure is reported as numbers, blood glucose level (to diagnose diabetes) is tested and reported as numbers. Doctors must analyze graphs --- an electrocardiograph is taken of the electrical function of the heart to check for heart problems. Medical treatments are sometimes based on the weight of a person. More of a drug must be given to a larger person to be effective. Too much of a medicine may be harmful to a smaller person, so dosages must be calculated. Part of health care is billing ... all procedures are charged to the patient. Discounts for medicare / insurance must be calculated, partial payments required from the patient (generally called deductibles and copays) must be calculated and all taken into account to come up with a final bill.

This is called pericarditis. An inflammation of the sac around the heart. Chest pain is very common. It can be caused by an infection or a heart attack. Pain is better with sitting up and leaning forward. Heart attacks themselves do not feel better with these position changes. Heart attacks feel like an elephant on the chest and have pain radiating down the arm. It can be hard to make a diagnosis between the two. Infection can be caused by fungi, bacteria, or viruses. Aspirin, NSAIDS are given for this and at times steroids. At times, the pericardial sac becomes restrictive and must be cut open to allow movement of the heart as it beats. This happens in chronic pericarditis. The heart when it beats, moves in a twisting way and needs room.
