An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a brief examination of your heart’s electrical activity and rhythm. In order to monitor, track, and record the electrical activity of your heart for diagnostic purposes, temporary electrodes are applied to your chest and limbs. A computer transforms the data into a wave pattern that your doctor can interpret. This is a quick, painless, and non-intrusive test. An ECG can be taken during a stress test, while you sleep, or during exercise.
To help in the diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of heart-related illnesses, an ECG is simultaneously used with other tests and examinations. It can be used to investigate heart-related complaints such as chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, and uneven and short breaths.
Typically, a cardiologist-medical professional with experience in heart disorders will order or perform an ECG. However, other medical personnel will perform this test on you in case of an emergency or when in an ambulance.
An ECG examination is a quick, painless, and secure technique. While it is being done, your body is not exposed to any electricity. However, you can experience some pain as you try to take the electrodes out of your skin. The area where the electrodes were inserted may also cause a mild rash in some people. An ECG is always performed under supervised conditions. If you start to feel unwell or exhibit any symptoms, the person performing the test will constantly monitor you and stop the operation.
