What is an ECG?

An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, quick, and painless test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It helps in detecting heart rhythm abnormalities, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.

Why is an ECG Done?

Your doctor may recommend an ECG if you experience:
✔️ Chest pain or discomfort
✔️ Irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
✔️ Shortness of breath
✔️ Dizziness or fainting
✔️ High blood pressure or existing heart conditions

How is an ECG Performed?

• Small sensors (electrodes) are placed on your chest, arms, and legs.
• These electrodes capture the heart’s electrical signals, which are displayed as a graph on a monitor or paper.
• The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and takes just a few minutes.

What Can an ECG Detect?

 Abnormalities of heart rate and rhythm
 Signs of a past or current heart attack
 Heart strain due to high blood pressure
 Heart chamber enlargement
 Effects of certain medications or electrolyte imbalances
