ECG Testing: An Important Step in Heart Health Assessment

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a common, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It can help healthcare professionals assess heart rate and rhythm and identify certain abnormalities that may require further evaluation.

An ECG may be recommended for symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, chest discomfort, or shortness of breath, depending on the clinical assessment. It may also be used as part of an evaluation for specific heart conditions.

The test is generally quick and painless. Small electrodes are placed on the skin to record the heart's electrical signals. Your doctor will interpret the results alongside your symptoms, medical history, and other relevant findings.

Dr. Shalini Garg provides cardiology consultation for heart-related concerns. If your doctor recommends an ECG, follow the instructions provided and discuss the results with a qualified healthcare professional.

An ECG is only one part of a heart assessment and may not detect every heart problem. Seek urgent medical care for severe or persistent chest pain, particularly when accompanied by breathlessness, sweating, or faintness.
