Abstract
The purpose is to estimate the effectiveness of electrocardiograms during resting and active participation by the differentiation between the electrical activity of the heart while standing and sitting in a resting state. The concern is to identify the electrocardiogram parameters that did not show significant changes within these positions. The electrocardiogram parameters can be considered to be a standard marker for medically compromised patients. The electrocardiogram is recorded in the standing and sitting positions focusing on healthy participants using standard electrode placement of lead-I. Combined lead-I patterns (camel-hump or ST-segment prolongation) are usually seen in neurologic injury or hypothermia patients. The pairwise comparisons of a year data are about 454,400 cycles of sitting and 493,470 cycles of standing data. Thus, it is essential to quantify the nature and magnitude of changes seen in the electrocardiogram with a change of posture from sitting to standing in a healthy individual. This makes the findings of electrocardiogram analysis in this paper interesting in which some parameters (i.e., camel-hump patterns in lead-I) are helpful for clinical interpretations and could be suggestive of neurologic injury.

It becomes important to study and quantify the nature and magnitude of changes seen in the ECG with a change of posture from sitting to standing in healthy individuals
Employing ECG features in monitoring exercise progress could extend information in several aspects, for example, in detecting symptoms of heart disease and deficiency in the blood
Summary
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most common non-invasive method used for various conditions of heart diagnosis. The ECG is used extensively for monitoring patients, especially in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), emergency room, and in the operation theaters during surgical procedures. Various diagnostic tests, such as exercise stress tests, monitor ECG changes to trace the underlying cardiac pathologies (Khare and Chawala, 2016). The standard procedure for recording the ECG is in the supine position. In certain situations, such as exercise stress testing and evaluation of syncope by the head-up tilt test, the ECG is recorded in the upright position. The same may be necessary for patients who cannot assume the supine position due to certain conditions that require them to adopt other postures
