ECG (Electrocardiogram)
An electrocardiogram (called an ECG) can be performed by our trained collectors. You’ll be asked to lie on an examining table or bed. Electrodes will be attached to your arms, legs and chest. The electrodes are sticky patches applied with a gel to help detect and conduct the electrical currents of your heart. If you have hair on the parts of your body where the electrodes will be placed, the technician may need to shave the hair so that the electrodes stick properly.
A standard ECG takes just a few minutes. The electrodes are then removed and you can resume normal activities. An ECG doesn’t involve medication or require recovery time. It is completely non-invasive, as the skin is in no way penetrated. The ECG is a safe procedure with no known risks. It does not send electric current into the body. On occasion, you may be allergic or sensitive to the electrodes causing local skin irritation.
When completed, the trace will be transmitted to our specialist cardiologists for interpretation and reported back to i-screen.
What's included
The ECG process is simple and painless, with small sensors placed on the chest, arms, and legs to record your heart’s electrical activity. The test takes just a few minutes, requires no preparation, and you can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
