Our Electrocardiogram Service

Our electrocardiogram assessments are designed for anyone experiencing heart-related symptoms or those who need routine checks as part of their ongoing care. Using high-precision technology, we record your heart’s electrical activity and interpret the results on the same day.

The conditions and abnormalities we test for include:

During the appointment, electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs. These detect electrical impulses produced by your heart, generating a tracing that allows our clinicians to analyse rhythm patterns, conduction pathways, and potential abnormalities.

Preparing for Your Appointment

To ensure accurate results, we recommend following a few simple steps. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your chest. Avoid applying lotions, oils, or powders to the skin on the day of your test, as these can interfere with electrode contact. Continue taking your regular medications unless instructed otherwise. If you experience symptoms such as palpitations, chest discomfort, or dizziness, make note of when they occur so you can share this information with your clinician.

Symptoms We Help Identify

An electrocardiogram is often the first step in understanding what’s causing heart-related symptoms. It can help uncover conditions linked to:

By analysing the electrical patterns of your heartbeat, we can identify rhythm problems early and guide the next steps in your care.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. It’s a painless, non-invasive test that does not deliver electricity, it only measures it.

The setup and recording usually take 5–10 minutes. It’s one of the quickest diagnostic tools available.

Not always. An ECG shows electrical activity at the moment of testing. Some conditions may require additional tests such as a Holter monitor, echocardiogram, or stress test.

Your clinician may recommend further evaluation such as ambulatory monitoring, echocardiography, or follow-up testing, to understand the cause and determine the right plan for you.
