About the service
What is an electrocardiogram (ECG)?
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic method that records the electrical activity of the heart and helps to assess heart health. This test is quick, painless, and safe, and is performed by placing small electrode-like pads on the chest, arms, and legs.
An ECG provides important information about:
- Heart rhythm and rate (e.g., whether there are heart palpitations or arrhythmias)
- Previous heart attacks or heart muscle damage
- Heart valve or electrical conduction disorders
- Preventive assessment of heart disease risk
The test usually takes only a few minutes, and the results are analyzed immediately by a doctor or specialist. An ECG is especially recommended for patients who experience chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or heart palpitations, as well as part of regular heart health checkups.
