Poona Diagnostic Centre

An Electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as an EKG, is a non-invasive and painless diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It is a vital tool used to detect heart conditions, monitor heart health, and assess heart rhythm. At Poona Diagnostic, located in Pune, the ECG test is conducted using advanced equipment to provide accurate and clear results.

During an ECG test, small electrodes are attached to the skin on the chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes detect the electrical impulses generated by the heart each time it beats. The electrical activity is then recorded as a waveform on a monitor or printed on paper. The test typically takes only a few minutes and does not require any special preparation.

• Detecting Heart Arrhythmias: ECG helps identify irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.
  
  
• Diagnosing Heart Attacks: It can detect signs of a previous or ongoing heart attack by showing changes in heart rhythm and electrical patterns.
  
  
• Assessing Heart Health: ECG is used to evaluate the health of the heart, checking for conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure, and heart enlargement.
  
  
• Monitoring Treatment: It is frequently used to monitor the effects of heart medications, pacemakers, or other treatments on heart function.
  
  
• Identifying Electrolyte Imbalances: ECG can also indicate imbalances in blood electrolytes, which can affect heart function.

• Quick and Painless: The ECG procedure is non-invasive and requires no recovery time, making it ideal for quick assessment of heart health.
  
  
• Early Detection: It helps identify potential heart problems early, allowing for prompt intervention and treatment.
  
  
• Accurate and Reliable: ECG is one of the most reliable tools for detecting heart conditions, providing precise information about heart rhythm and function.
