​

What Is an ECG?

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It helps detect:

• Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)

• Signs of previous heart attacks

• Abnormalities in heart rate or rhythm

• Early signs of cardiomyopathy or structural issues

• Effects of high blood pressure or medication on the heart

The test only takes a few minutes, and results are reviewed by a clinician with onward referral if needed.

​

Who Should Have an ECG?

• Athletes or gym-goers needing pre-participation screening

• People with family history of heart disease or sudden cardiac death

• Those experiencing symptoms like:

  • Palpitations

  • Chest tightness

  • Dizziness or fainting

• Individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, or other risk factors

• Anyone seeking peace of mind as part of a cardiac risk assessment
