An ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It helps diagnose heart conditions, such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac problems. Your doctor may recommend it to assess your heart’s health.
Typically, you don’t need to make any special preparations. However, you may be asked to avoid certain activities like heavy exercise before the test. It’s essential to follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
No, an ECG is not painful. It’s a non-invasive procedure that involves attaching electrodes to your skin to record your heart’s electrical activity. You may feel a slight discomfort during electrode placement, but it’s generally painless.
An ECG usually takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. It’s a relatively quick and straightforward procedure.
You’ll be asked to lie down, and small electrodes will be placed on your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes are connected to an ECG machine, which records your heart’s electrical signals.
ECG testing is considered safe and non-invasive. There are typically no significant risks. In some cases, individuals with sensitive skin may experience minor skin irritation at the electrode sites.
