An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It helps doctors assess the rhythm, strength, and timing of electrical signals that coordinate your heartbeat. By detecting abnormal patterns, ECGs play a crucial role in diagnosing a variety of heart conditions, such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular issues.

 Performing an ECG is quick and straightforward. During the procedure, small electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes are connected to an ECG machine that records the electrical impulses from your heart. The test is completely painless and typically takes only a few minutes to complete. You will be asked to lie down and relax while the ECG machine does its work. Once the test is completed, a report is generated that provides valuable insights into your heart’s health.
