What Is an ECG?
An ECG records the electrical activity of your heart. It’s a simple, non-invasive test that can provide useful information about your heart’s rhythm, rate, and response to medication.
It is often used for:
- Monitoring medication effects
- Pre-operative assessments
- General cardiac screening
