In the setting of disease-related stress, the heart responds with a comprehensive array of structural, transcriptional, signaling, and metabolic events taking place in each of the cellular elements within the tissue. These events culminate in alterations in cardiac-derived electrical potentials at the surface of the skin which can be recorded on the ECG.
