Private Electrocardiogram (ECG) Test

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool utilised to measure the heart's rhythm and electrical activity. The primary objective of an ECG is to assess the heart's health by identifying any irregular heart rhythms and assisting in the diagnosis of symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations.

​

During an electrocardiogram (ECG), the heart's electrical activity is monitored using electrodes that are securely attached to the skin with adhesive pads. The signals recorded from the heart are visually represented on a screen and can also be printed on paper. An ECG is instrumental in diagnosing various cardiac issues, including:

• Heart attacks

• An enlarged heart that is under strain

• Arrhythmias, which are characterized by fast, slow, or irregular heartbeats

​

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a valuable tool for investigating the underlying causes of chest pain, palpitations, or respiratory difficulties. It is also utilized to determine whether a patient has experienced a heart attack or to detect evidence of a prior heart attack. The procedure for a standard ECG is straightforward, quick, and entirely painless.
