ECG Test (Electrocardiogram) in Delhi
An ECG (Electrocardiogram / EKG) records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed on the skin. Each heartbeat produces electrical signals that travel through the heart muscle — the ECG records these signals as waveforms (P wave, QRS complex, T wave) that reveal the heart's rhythm, rate and electrical conduction.
ECG is fast (takes only 5 minutes), painless, non-invasive and provides immediate results. It is one of the most commonly requested cardiac tests and is essential for evaluating any cardiac symptoms.
When is ECG Recommended?
- Chest pain — to evaluate for heart attack (MI), angina, or non-cardiac causes
- Palpitations — irregular heartbeat, rapid heart rate, sudden awareness of heartbeat
- Shortness of breath — cardiac vs pulmonary cause assessment
- Dizziness and fainting — arrhythmia screening
- Hypertension (high BP) — assessing cardiac effects of long-standing hypertension
- Pre-operative / pre-surgery evaluation — mandatory before any elective surgery
- Annual health checkup — routine cardiac screening for adults above 40
- Diabetes checkup — silent MI and cardiac neuropathy screening
- Monitoring known heart disease — arrhythmias, heart block, cardiomyopathy
