Electrocardiogram
Heart Rhythm and Electrical Activity
Electrocardiograms (E.C.G.) are a vital diagnostic tool that is used to evaluate the electrical activity in the heart. This non-invasive procedure records the electrical signals which trigger each heartbeat and provides vital information about heart health. The E.C.G records and captures the electrical impulses of the heart by placing electrodes in specific areas on the chest, arms and legs. The E.C.G trace provides a detailed picture of the heart’s size, rhythm and overall function. This test can be used to diagnose various heart conditions including arrhythmias and heart attacks. It also helps guide treatment and management.
When is an E.C.G test prescribed?
In several clinical situations, the E.C.G Test can be prescribed to help with accurate diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions. The ECG test is used to determine if chest pain or discomfort are due to heart conditions such as myocardial ischemia or angina. This test is essential to diagnose arrhythmias and irregular heartbeats that can cause symptoms such as palpitations and dizziness. E.C.Gs are also performed in preoperative assessments, to assess heart function prior to surgeries or other medical procedures. E.C.G Test is also included in routine heart monitoring for those with cardiovascular disease history or who have risk factors for heart diseases. It is also used to track heart conditions and to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
Preparation for E.C.G Test
The preparation for the E.C.G test is simple and minimal. The patient is usually advised to wear comfortable, loose clothing. Hospital gowns can be provided as needed. Avoid applying any lotions or oils on the chest as they can interfere with electrode adhesion. The technician should be informed if the patient has a pacemaker, or any other heart device. This information can affect the interpretation of test results.
Parameters to be considered during E.C.G test
The E.C.G Test measures several parameters that are vital for understanding heart health. The ECG test measures heart rate and displays the number of pulses per minute. The test evaluates the heart rhythm by assessing regularity and identifying arrhythmias. It also examines electrical conductivity, evaluating the way electrical impulses move through the heart, and identifying possible issues, such as blockages or irregular conduction pathways. The E.C.G Test can also provide information about heart size and location, which may indicate underlying conditions.
Time required for E.C.G Test Report
The E.C.G Test can be performed quickly and efficiently. E.C.G. recording usually takes only a few moments. The results are usually available in a few hours or a day depending on the complexity and workload of the department of radiology. Your healthcare provider will discuss and review the results with your, helping you to interpret and plan any follow-up action.
