ECG Treatment
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a simple, non-invasive test used to assess the electrical activity of the heart. It plays a critical role in diagnosing and managing various cardiac conditions. Here's an overview of ECG treatment and its significance:
Book an AppointmentWhat is an ECG?
An ECG records the heart's electrical signals as it beats. This test is performed using small, painless electrodes attached to the chest, arms, and legs. The resulting graph provides valuable information about the heart’s rhythm, rate, and overall electrical activity.
When is an ECG Needed?
ECGs are often recommended to:
How is ECG Treatment Performed?
The patient is asked to lie down. Skin at the electrode placement areas is cleaned to ensure accurate readings.
Small adhesive patches (electrodes) are placed on specific areas of the body.
The machine records the heart’s electrical activity, creating a detailed graph. The process typically takes a few minutes.
A trained healthcare professional analyzes the graph for any irregularities or abnormalities.
