ECG – Electrocardiogram
An ECG is a quick, simple, and painless test that records the heart’s electrical activity to assess how well it is functioning.
The ECG produces a trace of your heart’s electrical activity, displayed as a line graph. It can help detect problems such as irregular heart rhythms, signs of a previous or current heart attack, electrolyte imbalances, or issues affecting the heart muscle or valves. Reading an ECG requires specialist training, as even subtle changes in the pattern can provide important clues about underlying heart conditions.
