ECG (electrocardiogram) monitoring

ECG (electrocardiogram) monitoring is a medical test that records the electrical signals generated by your heart as it beats. Small electrodes placed on your skin detect these signals and send them to a machine that creates a visual graph. This graph helps doctors assess your heart’s rhythm, size, and electrical activity, identifying irregularities or problems such as arrhythmias or signs of heart disease. ECG monitoring can be done quickly in a clinic or continuously over days or weeks with portable devices, providing valuable information to diagnose and manage cardiac conditions effectively.
