An ECG is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed on the skin. It helps in detecting various heart conditions, such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac abnormalities. The test is quick, non-invasive, and provides valuable information about the heart’s rhythm and electrical conduction.

An ECG is a medical test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed on the skin. It helps in diagnosing various heart conditions, including arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac problems.
Electrodes are attached to the chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes detect the electrical impulses generated by the heart, which are then recorded by the ECG machine.
No, the ECG is a non-invasive and painless procedure. You may feel a slight discomfort when the electrodes are removed from your skin.
The test itself usually takes about 5-10 minutes. However, the entire appointment may take around 30 minutes, including preparation and discussion of the results.
Generally, no special preparation is needed for an ECG. You may be asked to avoid applying lotions or oils on your skin before the test, as they can interfere with the electrode contact.
