Electrocardiogram (ECG) is performed to assess electrical activity of heart (initiation and conduction of heart beat). It is painless non invasive test performed by applying small clips (electrodes) on hands, legs and chest. You need to remove all magnetic materials (mobile, belt watch, etc). You don’t need to take out jewelleries. It takes about 5 minutes to complete the test. ECG has to be shown to your physician/ cardiologist as early possible depending on urgency of test. No side effects or risk associated with this test.
I recently had a critical care assessment and they were able to get results for a Electrocardiogram. It was amazing how much information this on test gave me from my ECG to my HRV. It's amazing what doctors can now find out without any invasive tests.
