Echocardiography

Electrocardiography is a process of recording the heart’s electrical activity to produce an electrocardiogram most commonly known as an ECG.

Using an ECG, cardiologists can read the heart rate. It shows how fast or slow the heart rate is and is used to see the rhythm of the heart rate, whether it is irregular or steady. Changes in an ECG can be a sign of underlying heart disease.

Preparation for an ECG

  • Avoid the application of greasy skin creams as they may interfere with the electrodes.
  • Avoid long socks, stockings, or leggings as the electrodes need to be placed on the legs directly
  • Wear a shirt that is loose and can be moved easily to place the leads on the chest.

The test is painless and takes roughly about 10 to 15 minutes. You should probably get an Echocardiography done if you are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular and heavy heartbeats.
