ECG
At Sri Sai Sagar Clinics, we offer comprehensive Electrocardiogram (ECG) services, a fundamental tool for assessing heart health. An ECG measures the electrical activity of the heart, providing crucial insights into its rhythm and overall function.
What is an ECG?
An ECG, or EKG, is a non-invasive test that records the electrical signals produced by the heart as it beats. These signals help identify various heart conditions by displaying them on a graph.
Indications for ECG:
We recommend an ECG for a range of reasons, including evaluating symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness. It is also used for monitoring patients with known heart conditions, assessing the
effectiveness of treatments, and screening before surgeries or strenuous activities.
Procedure:
The ECG procedure is simple and quick, typically taking about 10 minutes. Patients are asked to lie down while electrodes are attached to their chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes capture the heart’s electrical activity, which is then displayed as waveforms on a monitor.
Benefits of ECG:
An ECG is a painless, safe, and quick procedure with no known risks. It provides immediate results, allowing healthcare professionals to make timely decisions regarding further testing or treatment. Additionally, it can be easily repeated to monitor changes over time.
