About ECG Services
ECG (Electrocardiogram) Services at Nano Hospitals are essential diagnostic tests used to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart. This quick, non-invasive procedure helps detect heart rhythm abnormalities, blocked arteries, heart muscle damage, and other cardiac conditions.
ECG plays a vital role in early detection of heart disease, emergency cardiac care, and ongoing monitoring of patients with known heart conditions.
Overview
An ECG records the heart’s electrical signals using small electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs. These signals are displayed as waveforms that help doctors identify irregular heartbeats, signs of heart attacks, and other cardiac abnormalities.
At Nano Hospitals, ECG tests are performed using advanced digital machines that provide accurate recordings for prompt cardiac evaluation.
Workflow
Step 1: Medical Assessment
Doctors recommend an ECG if a patient experiences chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, or as part of a routine heart checkup.
Step 2: Electrode Placement
Small adhesive electrodes are placed on the chest and limbs to capture the heart’s electrical signals.
Step 3: Recording the Heart Activity
The ECG machine records heart rhythms for a few minutes while the patient lies still and relaxed.
Step 4: Analysis
The recorded waveforms are reviewed by a doctor to detect rhythm disturbances, ischemia, or structural heart issues.
Step 5: Reporting and Follow-up
Results are shared promptly, and further tests or treatments are planned if needed.
