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
Important Information
- You do not need a referral to book an ECG with us.
- This is not an emergency service. If you are unwell or experiencing chest pain or shortness of breath, please call 999 or visit your nearest A&E.
- We do not offer interpretation or diagnosis.
- You will need to arrange for a doctor or prescriber to review your ECG.
We believe that test results - including ECGs - should always be interpreted in context by a clinician who knows your full medical history. This ensures safe, appropriate care and avoids misinterpretation.
