What is ECG?
An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a medical test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time. It is a health monitoring device and a painless test for detecting heart issues and monitoring heart health. It is a valuable diagnostic tool used to assess the heart's health and function.
An ECG is required if you have the following symptoms:
- Chest pain
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Shortness of breath
- Rapid pulse
- Feeling fatigued or weak
Why and when should an ECG be performed?
- Arrhythmias - when the heart beats slowly, quickly, or irregularly.
- Coronary heart disease - when the coronary arteries of the heart cannot supply enough oxygen and blood due to a buildup of fatty substances.
- You've previously suffered from heart attacks.
- Cardiomyopathy - when it becomes difficult for the heart muscle to pump blood to the rest of the body.
- Evaluating cardiac medications - ECGs can help assess the effects of cardiac medications or treatments, ensuring they are working as intended and not causing any adverse effects.
You will be closely supervised by an expert while performing the test. If you experience any pain, the test will be terminated immediately.
