Electrocardiogram

Explore how Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) provides valuable insights into cardiac rhythm and function, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of various heart conditions to promote cardiovascular health.

About

Understanding Electrocardiogram

Electrocardiogram, commonly known as ECG or EKG, is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to measure and record the electrical activity of the heart over a specific period, typically a few seconds. By detecting and analyzing the heart's electrical impulses, an ECG provides valuable information about cardiac rhythm, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia, assisting healthcare providers in diagnosing and managing a wide range of cardiovascular disorders.

SYMPTOMS

Symptoms that May Lead to an Electrocardiogram

Patients experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or dizziness may require an Electrocardiogram to assess cardiac function and detect potential arrhythmias or ischemic events.

Chest Pain

Sudden or persistent chest discomfort, pressure, or tightness, often accompanied by shortness of breath, nausea, or sweating.

Palpitations

Irregular, rapid, or pounding heartbeats felt as fluttering or racing sensations in the chest may signal cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation.

Dizziness

Episodes of lightheadedness, fainting, or near-fainting spells, especially during exertion or sudden positional changes.
CONDITIONS

Conditions Diagnosed with an Electrocardiogram:

Electrocardiogram serves as a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring various cardiac conditions, including atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and conduction disorders, facilitating timely intervention and optimal management strategies.

Atrial Fibrillation

ECG helps detect irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and bradycardia, enabling appropriate treatment and management.

Ischemic Heart Disease:

Signs of myocardial ischemia, including ST-segment changes and T-wave abnormalities, can be identified on an ECG, aiding in the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease.

Structural Heart Abnormalities:

ECG findings may indicate structural heart abnormalities such as hypertrophy, enlargement, or congenital defects, guiding further evaluation and treatment decisions.
