Private Electrocardiography (ECG) in London

An ECG measures the electrical impulses that make your heart beat, providing a graphical representation of the electrical currents moving through the heart muscle.

An ECG is performed by a healthcare professional called a cardiologist or electrocardiographer. They will attach electrodes to your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes will pick up the electrical signals from your heart and send them to a machine that records them.

The ECG recording will show the electrical activity of your heart over a period of time. The cardiologist will then interpret the recording to look for any abnormalities.

You can go about your normal activities after an ECG. There are no special restrictions.

The possible findings of an ECG include:

• Normal heart rhythm
• Abnormal heart rhythm
• Signs of heart disease, such as coronary artery disease or heart failure

The procedure itself usually takes about 5-10 minutes, though you might spend a bit longer at the clinic for preparation and post-test consultation.

 No special preparation is needed. Just wear loose, comfortable clothing and avoid applying lotions or oils before the test.

Generally, the results are available shortly after the test. Your cardiologist will review the results and discuss any findings with you.
