Electrocardiogram (EKG) Service

The heart is one of the most vital organs in the body, responsible for pumping blood to nourish every cell. If it starts to malfunction, it can affect your overall health and may even become life-threatening. Thats why early detection and regular heart check-up such as an electrocardiogram (EKG) are essential. EKG screening helps identify potential abnormalities in your heart's function and can prevent serious health complications.


What is an Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG)?

An EKG (Electrocardiogram), sometimes referred to as an ECG, is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It evaluates your hearts rhythm and the electrical conduction through the heart muscle. During the test, small electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs to detect the electrical signals. These signals are then displayed as a graph on paper or a digital screen for interpretation by a medical professional.


The purpose of an EKG

An EKG allows your doctor to:

  • Check your heart rhythm whether it's too fast, too slow, or irregular.
  • Detect signs of reduced blood flow to the heart or myocardial infarction (heart attack).
  • Evaluate heart muscle abnormalities or signs of heart enlargement.
  • Monitor side effects of certain medications that may impact heart function.
  • Serve as a preliminary screening tool before surgery or in individuals at risk of heart disease.


EKG Procedure

  1. Lay down on an examination bed.
  2. A healthcare provider will attach 10 electrodes on your chest, arms, and legs.
  3. The EKG machine will record your hearts electrical activity. The process takes about 5-10 minutes.

The test is painless, non-invasive, and does not require fasting or any special preparation.


Who Should Get an EKG?

Everyone should consider getting an EKG at least once a year, especially as part of an annual health check-up. It is particularly recommended for

  • Individuals with symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or fatigue.
  • Those at risk of heart disease such as people with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, alcohol consumption, or a smoking habit.
  • People with a family history of heart disease.
  • Patients undergoing a pre-operative health assessment.


Benefits of EKG Testing

  • Quick, painless, and cost-effective.
  • Can detect various heart conditions at an early stage.
  • Provides essential information for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.


If you or someone close to you is experiencing symptoms that may be related to heart health, an EKG is a safe and simple method to assess your hearts condition.
