Electrocardiogram (ECG) 24 hours at The Cardiovascular Health Clinic
An ECG – or electrocardiogram - is a simple and useful test which records the rhythm and electrical activity of your heart. An ECG can detect problems you may have with your heart rhythm. It can help doctors tell if you are having a heart attack or if you’ve had a heart attack in the past. Sometimes an ECG can indicate if your heart is enlarged or thickened.
A 24-hour ECG helps to diagnose symptoms, such as palpitations, which only happen now and again. Sometimes it can show up an abnormal heart rhythm that might need treatment. It can also help reassure patients if the results are normal.
