An electrocardiogram (ECG) test gives important information concerning the spread of electricity to the different parts of the heart and is used to diagnose rhythm and conduction disturbances, myocardial infarction or ischemia, chamber enlargement, and metabolic disorders, among others.

ECG Services Offered

RESTING ECGs:
A resting ECG is performed while the patient is at rest, and it records the heart's electrical activity for a short time. This test helps detect abnormal heart rhythms, poor blood flow, and other heart-related problems.
STRESS ECGs:
A stress ECG is performed while the patient is exercising or under stress. This test is used to detect and diagnose coronary artery disease by measuring the heart's electrical activity during and after exercise.
HOLTER MONITORING:
Holter monitoring is continuous ECG monitoring performed for 24 to 48 hours. This test is used to track heart activity over a prolonged period and helps detect abnormal heart rhythms and other heart-related problems.
EVENT MONITORING:
Event monitoring is a type of ECG monitoring that the patient can activate in case of symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations. This test is used to detect and diagnose heart-related problems by recording the heart's electrical activity at the time of symptoms.
