If your symptoms are only occurring occasionally, and are not able to be monitored during a routine heart exam or simple electrocardiogram, our specialists may recommend that you have a seven-day ECG.
1-week ECG (also known as an ambulatory electrocardiogram) allows your heartbeat to be monitored over the period of a whole week. This test will show how your heart responds to rest and activity, stress, and changes in medication.
It is usually recommended by a specialist when your symptoms include dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain (angina), fainting spells or blackouts (syncope or pre-syncope). For an ambulatory electrocardiogram, you will wear a small device, either around your neck or attached to your clothing at the waist, which picks up and records the electrical signals of your heartbeat.
The device is attached to sensors which are stuck onto the skin of your chest. It is important that you do not get the monitor wet, so we will show you how to remove and reattach the device so that you can bathe or shower.
We will ask you to keep an events diary for the time you are wearing the ECG monitor, which will help us to get an accurate reading of your results. Once seven days have passed, you will come back to the clinic to return the device and have your results collected and evaluated by our cardiologists.
If you are experiencing any symptoms of potential heart disease, would like to discuss an existing diagnosis, or have any questions at all about your heart health, please come in to speak to one of our cardiologists.

Prepare for your ECG by wearing loose clothing, avoiding lotions on your chest, and informing your provider about medications. Stay relaxed, avoid caffeine if possible, and follow your provider’s instructions for accurate results.
During an ECG, electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs to record your heart’s electrical activity. You’ll lie still for a few minutes while the machine creates a graph showing your heart’s rhythm and any potential issues. Once the recording is done, the electrodes are removed, and your healthcare provider will discuss the results with you.
