ECG

An electrocardiogram is a simple test used to check your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity. This non-invasive procedure involves the placement of electrodes on the patient's chest, limbs, and sometimes specific body locations to record the heart's electrical impulses.

The resulting ECG graph, known as a "tracing," provides valuable insights into the heart's rhythm, rate, and overall health. ECG tests are a crucial diagnostic tool, aiding healthcare professionals in identifying a wide range of cardiac conditions, including arrhythmias, heart attacks, and abnormal heart rhythms.

This test is quick, painless, and widely accessible, making it an essential component of both routine check-ups and emergency cardiac care, helping to ensure the early detection and management of heart-related issues for patients of all ages.
