Heart Health Test
ECG (Electrocardiogram)
Heart Rhythm and Electrical Activity Analysis
A quick, painless test that checks your heart rhythm and electrical activity to detect irregularities, previous silent heart events, or early signs of cardiac problems.
An Electrocardiogram is a medical test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time. This recorded data is presented in the form of a graph or waveform, allowing healthcare professionals to assess the heart's rhythm and detect any irregularities.
Visit our clinic for this non-invasive, painless test that measures the electrical signals in your heart and instantaneously shows its electrical activity. All ECG tests are performed at our clinic with immediate results.
What Is It?
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a quick, painless test that records the electrical signals your heart produces with each beat. Your heart's electrical system controls your heartbeat, and any problems with this system can indicate underlying heart conditions. The ECG translates these electrical impulses into a visual pattern that reveals how your heart is functioning—whether it's beating regularly, if there are any abnormalities in your heart's structure, and if any areas aren't getting enough oxygen.
Why It's Important
Understanding your heart's electrical activity is essential because it can reveal problems you might not feel. Many serious heart conditions, including irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), previous heart attacks (even "silent" ones you weren't aware of), thickened heart muscle, blocked arteries, and early signs of heart disease can all be detected through an ECG. This test can identify issues before they become life-threatening, allowing for early intervention. It's particularly valuable because it provides immediate, objective data about your heart's health that might not be apparent from symptoms alone.
