What is an ECG (Electrocardiogram) Test?
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a simple, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. This quick, painless procedure helps doctors diagnose heart issues like irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), heart attacks, and other heart conditions. Whether you're dealing with chest pain, dizziness, or a family history of heart disease, an ECG can provide valuable insights into your heart’s health.
When Should You Consider an ECG?
You may need an ECG if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, irregular heartbeat, or shortness of breath. It’s also recommended for routine screenings, especially if you have a family history of heart disease. Our ECG clinics in Stoney Creek (Hamilton) and Oakville offer easy access to quick heart health assessments when you need them most. Our Stoney Creek clinic also offers walk-in ECG services.
How Does an ECG Work?
During an ECG test, small sticky patches (electrodes) are placed on your chest, arms, and legs. These patches record your heart’s electrical signals, which are then displayed as waves on a monitor. The test typically takes just a few minutes, and you can breathe normally and relax during the procedure. It’s a quick, painless way to see if your heart is beating as it should.
