Electrocardiogram (ECG)

What Is an Electrocardiogram (ECG)?

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that records the electrical activity of the heart over time. It involves the placement of small electrodes on the skin, usually on the chest, arms, and legs, to capture the heart's electrical signals.

Purpose of an ECG Test

An ECG is primarily used to evaluate your heart's rhythm and electrical conduction patterns. It helps detect abnormalities such as arrhythmias, heart block, and other cardiac conditions that may affect heart performance or indicate underlying issues.
