An ECG, or electrocardiogram, is a simple test that monitors your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity.
It is used diagnostically to understand whether you have any problems with your heart and can be carried out here at our clinic by one of our cardiologists or trained specialists.
An ECG is usually suggested if you are experiencing symptoms of a heart problem, such as chest pain (angina), palpitations (where you feel your own heartbeat very strongly), dizziness, and shortness of breath.
Conditions it can diagnose include:
The ECG test is non-invasive. A specialist will attach sensors (small electrodes that stick on) to your skin over your chest, arms, and legs. These sensors detect the electrical signals your heart sends with each heartbeat. They are connected by wires to an ECG recording machine, which reads the signals and produces a graph of your heart’s electrical activity.
The test only takes a few minutes, and you can return to your normal activities immediately afterwards. The ECG can also be taken whilst you are using a treadmill or exercise bike (stress ECG), or whilst you are going about your daily activities (ambulatory ECG), which allows the heart to be tested under different conditions.
The type of ECG recommended will depend on your symptoms, such as if they are triggered by physical activity or happen more at random.
Our experienced specialist cardiologists can carry out these tests in the clinic if appropriate to diagnose the root of any symptoms you are suffering from.
