ECG (Electrocardiogram)
Resting 12-lead ECG for rapid assessment of heart rhythm, rate and electrical activity — an essential first-line cardiac investigation.
Overview
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes placed on the skin. It is the most widely used, non-invasive cardiac test that helps detect arrhythmias, myocardial infarction (heart attack), conduction defects and other cardiac abnormalities in minutes.
At Dr. Anand's Diagnostic, 12-lead resting ECGs are performed by trained technicians and interpreted by experienced cardiologists. The entire procedure takes less than 10 minutes and the report is available immediately — making it ideal for routine cardiac screening, pre-operative assessment and acute chest pain evaluation.
What We Do
We perform resting 12-lead ECG for cardiac screening, chest pain evaluation, pre-operative assessment, hypertension monitoring, medication monitoring (for drugs affecting QT interval) and post-cardiac event follow-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
No special preparation is required. Avoid applying body lotion or oil on the chest area on the day of the test. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Continue your regular medications unless told otherwise by your doctor.
No. An ECG is completely painless. Small adhesive electrodes are placed on the arms, legs and chest. The machine only records electrical signals — it does not send any electricity into the body.
The ECG recording takes less than 5 minutes. The report is ready immediately and can be collected on the same visit.
