Who is this surgery for?
- Chest pain, pressure, or discomfort (angina).
- Palpitations, irregular heartbeat, or feeling of skipped beats.
- Shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting spells (syncope).
- Monitoring known heart conditions like arrhythmias or coronary artery disease.
- Pre-operative assessment before surgery.

- Routine check-up for individuals with risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease.
How to prepare
- No fasting is required; you can eat and drink normally.
- Avoid applying oils, lotions, or powders to the chest area on the day of the test.
- Wear a comfortable, two-piece outfit to allow easy access to the chest.
- Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and any heart-related symptoms.
- For men with a very hairy chest, shaving small areas may be needed for proper electrode contact.
- Stay relaxed and breathe normally during the procedure.
Risks & possible complications
- There are virtually no direct risks associated with a standard ECG.
- Minor skin irritation or redness from the adhesive electrodes, which resolves quickly.
- In rare cases, an allergic reaction to the electrode adhesive may occur.
- The test itself carries no risk of electric shock.
- A potential 'risk' is a false positive or negative reading, which is why results are interpreted by a cardiologist in context with other clinical information.
Recovery & hospital stay
- There is no recovery time needed; you can resume all normal activities immediately.
- The technician will remove the electrodes, which may leave slight sticky residue that washes off easily.
- Your cardiologist will analyze the ECG tracing and discuss the results with you, often during the same visit or shortly after.
- No special post-procedure care is required.
- Based on the results, your doctor will advise if any further tests or treatments are necessary.

John Johnson, a 58-year-old high school...
John Johnson, a 58-year-old high school history teacher, had always been active but noticed increasing fatigue and occasional lightheadedness when climbing stairs at school. His father had a history of heart disease, which made John anxious about his own heart health. During a routine check-up, his primary care physician noted an irregular pulse and referred him to a cardiologist. The cardiologist, Dr. Evans, recommended an Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for any arrhythmias or signs of coronary artery disease. John felt nervous lying on the exam table, worried about what the sticky electrodes might reveal. The procedure itself was quick and painless, lasting only a few minutes. The results showed occasional premature atrial contractions, which Dr. Evans explained were common and not immediately dangerous. With lifestyle modifications and monitoring, John felt a wave of relief. His anxiety lifted, replaced by a proactive calm, knowing he had a baseline for his heart health and a clear plan forward.
