Electro Cardiogram
( ECG )
Did you know that heart disease remains the number one cause of death in America? Over 200,000 Britishers each year have a heart attack.
​
This causes increased rates of mortality and disability. Electrocardiogram machines are useful in detecting cardiac conditions that can indicate a higher risk for heart disease. It is also the standard method for diagnosing heart attacks.
What Is an Electrocardiogram?
At its core – an electrocardiogram monitors the electrical signals from your heart. It does this by having someone attach various electrodes onto the torso region. As your heart pumps blood, the electrodes can pick up the signals.
​
Some of the things that ECGs show are:
-
Irregular heartbeats
-
Heart attack
-
Size of your heart
-
Heart chambers
-
Heart damage
​
ECGs are useful in inpatient hospital settings. They are used for patients who have sudden complaints of chest pain, arrhythmias, or dizziness. Physicians give these tests for monitoring patients with ongoing cardiac diseases.
​
They are useful for patients who are at risk of developing a cardiac condition. Additionally, they are frequently used for monitoring a patient’s pacemaker which helps control the electrical component of your heartbeat and rate.
​
If you have an upcoming surgery, a quick ECG can give your surgeon a good idea of your heart health. In return, this can pinpoint whether you are at a higher risk for undergoing general anesthesia.

When do you need an ECG
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is necessary whenever there's a need to assess the electrical activity of the heart.
Whether you're experiencing chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or if you have risk factors for heart disease, an ECG provides crucial information for diagnosing various cardiac conditions.
It's an essential tool for detecting irregular heart rhythms, assessing heart rate and rhythm abnormalities, evaluating the effectiveness of medications, and monitoring overall heart health.
Electrocardiogram Test
How exactly does an ECG work?
​
A standard ECG machine monitors the cardiac event as it is occurring. Twelve different leads are attached to your torso and upper or lower limbs. The patient should remove any jewelry and clothing on the upper torso at this time.
​
The leads are then connected back to the monitor. You will likely be laying down for this test and you might have to shave patches of hair to ensure there is a good connection.
​
You do not have to do anything while you receive the test. The ECG machine will monitor your heart for a certain amount of time and then the test is completed.
​
Moving or touching the electrodes while the test is running may skew the results. It is important that the person lays completely still on the table for the most accurate measures.
​
The electrocardiogram test results will show your heart’s rhythm and alert the cardiologist to anything abnormal. If there are abnormal or inconclusive results, another test may be required. There could also be further follow-up tests through an echocardiogram.
