ECG

Overview

An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. This activity is generated by the electrical impulses that cause your heart to beat. An ECG can help diagnose various heart conditions, such as:

  •  Arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms)
  • Heart attacks
  • Heart enlargement
  • Heart failure
  • Electrolyte imbalances

Procedure

The ECG procedure is quick and painless. It usually involves the following steps:

  •  Preparation: You will be asked to lie down on a table. Electrodes (small, sticky patches) will be placed on your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes will detect the electrical signals from your heart.
  •  Recording: The ECG machine will record the electrical activity of your heart for a few minutes. You may be asked to hold your breath or change your position during the recording.
  •  Analysis: A healthcare provider will review the ECG results. They may be able to diagnose a heart condition based on the patterns seen on the ECG.

Conditions ECG Can Detect

ECG can detect a wide range of heart conditions, including:

  • Arrhythmias: Irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and bradycardia.
  •  Heart attacks: ECG can help diagnose a heart attack by detecting changes in the electrical activity of the heart.
  • Heart enlargement: An enlarged heart can be detected on an ECG.
  • Heart failure: ECG can help identify signs of heart failure, such as changes in heart rhythm or heart muscle damage.
  • Electrolyte imbalances: Imbalances in electrolytes (such as potassium or sodium) can affect heart function and be detected on an ECG.

Benefits of an ECG

  • Non-invasive: ECG is a painless and non-invasive procedure.
  • Quick and easy: An ECG can be completed in a short amount of time.
  • Accurate: ECG is a reliable and accurate test for diagnosing heart conditions.
  • Cost-effective: ECG is generally a cost-effective procedure.
