Why is an ECG Important?

An ECG can help diagnose and monitor several heart conditions, including:

Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats that may require further investigation or treatment.
Heart Attacks: Identifying signs of past or ongoing heart attacks.
Cardiomyopathy: Assessing heart muscle health and function.
Electrolyte Imbalances: Detecting issues that can affect heart function.

What to Expect During an ECG

Simple and Quick Procedure: The test typically takes just a few minutes.
