General Information

An electrocardiogram is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. The electrical activity is related to the impulses that travel through the heart that determines the heart’s rate and rhythm. Electrodes are placed on the chest, arms and legs. The test takes about five to ten minutes.

You may need a heart rhythm test if you experience heart palpitations, chest pain, rapid pulse, shortness of breath, dizziness, light headedness or confusion or weakness, fatigue or a decline in ability to exercise.
This test will help the doctor to evaluate the patient’s cardiac condition by answering the following:

  • Is there a decreased supply of blood and oxygen to the heart?
  • Has a heart attack occurred?
  • What part of the heart was damaged?
  • Are there are any irregular heartbeats or rhythm?

An ECG will take a few minutes to complete.
