What is an ECG?
ECG or electrocardiography is a test that checks the heart’s function, regularity, rate, and rhythm, helping cardiologists diagnose several heart conditions and monitor and treat them.ECG machine has probes connected to the main machine via wires, with the machine recording the electrical waves of the heat and then printing them out on a sheet of paper. The ECG paper is used to read the electrical signals from the heart. TheECG strip produced will be kept for reference later as well.
Who Should Consider an ECG at Home
ECG test is advised for people who display any of the following symptoms:
Chest pain
Shortness of Breath
Fatigue
Difficulty Breathing while lying down
Heart beating very fast or palpitations
Fainting spells
Types of ECG tests
Resting ECG:
A resting ECG is the most frequently used type of ECG test, during which the patient sits or lies down without moving. The test is used to assess irregular heart rhythm and a prior heart attack.
Stress ECG (Exercise ECG):
The test is performed while the patient walks on a treadmill or rides a stationary bike. The test allows assessment of how the heart functions during physical exercise and of any problems with heart blood flow.
Holter Monitoring:
It is a portable heart rate recording device that records for 24 or 48 hours. The procedure is suggested for patients who experience some symptoms occasionally, for instance, heart palpitations or fainting.
Event Monitor ECG:
An event monitor is a mobile heart-rate recording device that can last several days or weeks and captures heart activity when patients experience symptoms.
ECG Signal-Averaging Technique:
The ECG signal-averaging technique measures the heart’s electrical activity to detect abnormalities that may indicate cardiac arrhythmias. This technique is usually suggested for certain cardiac tests.
Ambulatory ECG:
An ambulatory ECG test measures the heart’s electrical activity while a person performs their regular activities.

Customer Reviews about Diagnostic Services
How are ECG tests Done?
ECG tests are done by attaching electrodes over the chest and to three limbs to pick up the electrical signals from the heart and create the ECG waveform.
- During the procedure, metal electrodes (small, sticky circular patches) are placed on the skin on the chest, arms, and legs. The metal electrodes (sensors) are connected to an ECG machine by lead wires. No electricity is passed into the body.
- It is a painless procedure and gets over very fast within 5 to 10 minutes.
- ECG consists of a graph of voltageversus time of the electrical activity generated by the heart.
- Doctors often conduct ECG tests in their surgery, but sometimes you need to do it in a hospital or any diagnostic centre.
- By examining the ECG report, your physician will be able to assess your heart health.
