About this test
An ECG records the electrical signal that drives each heartbeat through electrodes placed on the chest, arms and legs. It is quick and painless, and it is the first test for chest pain, palpitations and irregular pulse, as well as a standard part of pre-operative and executive check-ups.
What it measures
- Heart rate and rhythm
- Evidence of previous or ongoing heart attack
- Chamber enlargement
- Conduction abnormalities
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
