ECG
An ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart, providing vital information about its health. This simple yet effective diagnostic tool helps detect irregular heart rhythms, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular conditions. During the test, electrodes are placed on your skin, typically on your chest, arms, and legs, to capture the electrical signals produced by your heart. The procedure is quick, painless, and provides immediate results that can guide your healthcare provider in diagnosing potential heart issues.

When and Why ECG is Prescribed?
An ECG (electrocardiogram) is prescribed when a doctor needs to assess the electrical activity of the heart to diagnose various heart conditions. It is often recommended for patients experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, or fainting, as it helps identify irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), heart attacks, or other heart diseases. An ECG is also prescribed as part of routine check-ups for individuals with a history of heart disease, hypertension, or high cholesterol. It provides valuable information about the heart’s rhythm, electrical impulses, and overall function, enabling early detection of potential issues. This simple, non-invasive test helps doctors make informed decisions about treatment and management, ensuring better heart health outcomes.
