ECG

Doctor House - A Multispeciality Hospital also provides ECG Test facility for patient.
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the electrical signal from the heart to check for different heart conditions. Electrodes are placed on the chest to record the heart's electrical signals, which cause the heart to beat.

Why it's done

An electrocardiogram is a painless, noninvasive way to help diagnose many common heart problems. A health care provider might use an electrocardiogram to determine or detect:

• 1. Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
• 2. If blocked or narrowed arteries in the heart (coronary artery disease) are causing chest pain or a heart attack
• 3. Whether you have had a previous heart attack
• 4. How well certain heart disease treatments, such as a pacemaker, are working
