Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a quick, painless test that records the electrical signals of the heart to check its rhythm and detect abnormalities such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, or other cardiac conditions. Electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs to capture the heart’s electrical activity, which is then displayed as waveforms on a monitor for analysis. ECG is commonly used for patients who experience chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath, and as a routine screening test.
