ECG

An electrocardiogram records the electrical signals in your heart. It's a common test used to detect heart problems and monitor the heart's status in many situations. Electrocardiograms — also called ECGs or EKGs — are often done in a doctor's office, a clinic or a hospital room. And they've become standard equipment in operating rooms and ambulances.

An ECG is a noninvasive, painless test with quick results. During an ECG, sensors (electrodes) that can detect the electrical activity of your heart are attached to your chest and sometimes your limbs. These sensors are usually left on for just a few minutes.

An ECG can help detect:

Arrhythmias: Where the heart beats too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly.

Cardiomyopathy : Where the heart walls become thickened or enlarged.

Heart Attacks : Where the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked.

Coronary Heart Disease: Where the heart's blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances.
