About Electrocardiogram

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a non-invasive, painless diagnostic test performed by a cardiologist to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart. It involves placing small, adhesive electrodes on the chest, arms, and legs, which are connected to a machine that records the heart's rhythm and electrical impulses as a graph. This quick and safe procedure is a fundamental tool for detecting arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions. It provides critical, real-time data that helps in diagnosing heart problems, assessing the effectiveness of treatments like pacemakers, and evaluating overall cardiac health, making it an essential first step in cardiovascular assessment.

Key Highlights

    Non-invasive and completely painless procedure.Quick to perform, typically taking only 5-10 minutes.Provides immediate, real-time data on heart rhythm and electrical activity.No radiation exposure involved.Essential for diagnosing a wide range of heart conditions.Can be performed in a clinic, hospital, or even at home with portable devices./ul

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.
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of cardiac medications or devices like pacemakers.
  • 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.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0 days (outpatient procedure)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 0 days (immediate)

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
