An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a quick, non-invasive test that records the heart’s electrical activity to detect rhythm abnormalities.
✔ Indications: Recommended for patients experiencing palpitations, chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or suspected heart conditions.
✔ Procedure:
Electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs.
The machine records the heart’s electrical impulses to detect irregularities.
✔ Purpose:
Diagnoses arrhythmias, heart attacks, and conduction disorders.
Assesses the effect of medications or pacemakers.
✔ Benefits:
Fast, painless, and radiation-free.
Provides an instant snapshot of heart rhythm and electrical activity.
A Holter Monitor is a portable ECG device that continuously records heart activity over 24 to 72 hours or longer.
✔ Indications: Used for patients with intermittent palpitations, fainting, unexplained dizziness, or suspected arrhythmias that may not appear in a standard ECG.
✔ Procedure:
Small electrodes are attached to the chest, connected to a compact monitor.
The patient wears the device while carrying out normal activities.
✔ Purpose:
Detects silent arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeats that occur sporadically.
Assesses the effectiveness of heart medications or implanted devices.
✔ Benefits:
Continuous monitoring provides a more accurate diagnosis.
Helps guide treatment decisions and personalized care plans.
