What is a ECG?

An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a non-invasive test that uses skin-attached electrodes to monitor the heart’s electrical activity over a period of time. It helps identify problems like irregular heart rhythms, heart attacks, or changes in heart muscle, and it’s commonly used when symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath are present. This test provides crucial information to guide diagnosis and treatment of heart-related conditions.
