What is Electrocardiogram (ECG)?

An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, painless test that measures the electrical activity of your heart. It helps diagnose arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions, providing essential information for treatment planning.

During the test, electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs to record the heart's electrical signals. The procedure is quick, usually taking only a few minutes, and is safe for all age groups.

ECG is commonly used to evaluate symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, and shortness of breath. It is also used to monitor heart health in patients with existing heart conditions or those undergoing treatment.

  • Avoid applying lotions or oils on your chest on the day of the test.
  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your chest.
  • Inform your technician about any medications you are taking.
  • Stay relaxed and still during the test to avoid interference.
  • Ask questions if you have any concerns or experience discomfort.
