Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test that can be used to check your heart's rhythm and electrical activity. Sensors attached to the skin are used to detect the electrical signals produced by your heart each time it beats. These signals are recorded by a machine and are looked at by a doctor to see if they're unusual. An ECG may be requested by a heart specialist (cardiologist) or any doctor who thinks you might have a problem with your heart, including your GP. The test can be carried out by a specially trained healthcare professional at a hospital, a clinic or at your GP surgery.

Our ECG Services

Routine ECG : A standard test performed to assess heart rhythm, rate, and overall heart function. It helps diagnose common conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other heart disorders.

Holter Monitoring : A continuous ECG recording over 24 to 48 hours to monitor heart activity during normal daily activities. This is useful for diagnosing intermittent arrhythmias or symptoms that are not captured during a standard ECG.

Event Monitoring : A portable ECG device worn for a longer period (usually 1-2 weeks) to capture and analyze irregular heart rhythms that occur sporadically. It allows for correlation between symptoms and heart activity.

Stress ECG : Also known as a treadmill test or exercise ECG, this test records heart activity during physical exercise to evaluate how the heart responds to exertion and detect issues such as exercise-induced arrhythmias or ischemia.

Ambulatory ECG : A mobile ECG system that provides continuous heart monitoring outside of a clinical setting, allowing for more extended and detailed evaluation of heart function.

Benefits of ECG

Early Detection of Heart Conditions : ECGs help identify abnormal heart rhythms, signs of heart disease, and early indications of heart attacks, enabling timely intervention and treatment.

Non-Invasive and Painless : The ECG test is simple, quick, and non-invasive, requiring no needles or injections.

Real-Time Monitoring : Provides immediate results that can be reviewed by healthcare providers to make informed decisions about diagnosis and treatment.

Comprehensive Heart Analysis : Offers valuable insights into heart rate, rhythm, and electrical activity, aiding in the diagnosis of various cardiac conditions.
