ECG

An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is one of the most common and essential tests to assess heart health. It records the electrical activity of the heart, helping doctors detect abnormal rhythms, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions quickly and accurately.

Dr. Jaydutt B Tekani, an experienced cardiologist, provides expert ECG evaluation to help diagnose heart problems early and guide effective treatment.

What Is An ECG?

An ECG is a non-invasive, painless test that monitors the heart’s electrical signals. Each heartbeat is triggered by electrical impulses, which cause the heart muscles to contract and pump blood.

The ECG records these signals using electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs, producing a graph that doctors can analyse to understand heart rhythm, heart rate, and the condition of the heart muscles.

Why Is an ECG Performed?

ECG is performed to:

Detect arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
Identify heart attacks or past heart damage
Evaluate chest pain or discomfort
Monitor heart health in patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease
Check the effectiveness of heart medications
Pre-operative cardiac assessment

It is suitable for patients of all ages and is often recommended as part of routine heart check-ups, especially for those with risk factors.

Types of ECG

Resting ECG: Conducted while the patient is at rest to check baseline heart rhythm.
Stress ECG (Treadmill Test): Records heart activity during exercise to identify stress-induced heart problems.
Holter Monitoring: Continuous ECG monitoring over 24–48 hours to detect intermittent arrhythmias.

Each type is chosen based on the patient’s symptoms and diagnostic needs.
