What is an ECG?

Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) is a quick, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It helps detect irregular heart rhythms, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.

Why is an ECG Done?

An ECG is recommended if you experience:

• Chest pain or tightness

• Irregular heartbeat or palpitations

• Dizziness or shortness of breath

• History of heart disease or high blood pressure

It also forms a routine part of health check-ups, pre-surgical assessments, and cardiac monitoring.

How is the Test Performed?

The test is simple and painless:

• Small electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs.

• These electrodes capture electrical signals from your heart.

• The results are recorded on a graph for analysis.
  The entire procedure takes about 5 to 10 minutes and does not require any special preparation.

What Does an ECG Detect?

An ECG helps diagnose:

• Heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias)

• Signs of a previous or current heart attack

• Thickened heart muscle (hypertrophy)

• Poor blood supply to the heart (ischemia)
