Electrocardiogram (ECG) Services at Dr. KNS Memorial Hospital
Dr. KNS Memorial Hospital offers comprehensive Electrocardiogram (ECG) services for the diagnosis and evaluation of heart conditions. ECG is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart, providing valuable information about heart rate, rhythm, and cardiac conduction.
State-of-the-Art ECG Technology
Our hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art ECG machines capable of producing high-quality electrocardiograms. These machines capture detailed electrical signals from the heart and generate clear, accurate recordings for interpretation by our experienced cardiologists.
Indications for ECG
ECG may be recommended for patients experiencing symptoms such as:
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Palpitations or irregular heartbeat
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Fainting or syncope
- Evaluation of risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes
Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation
ECG provides valuable diagnostic information to aid in the diagnosis and management of various heart conditions, including:
- Arrhythmias: irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or bradycardia
- Conduction abnormalities: disturbances in the electrical conduction system of the heart, such as bundle branch blocks or heart blocks
- Ischemia: insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle, indicating conditions such as coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction (heart attack)
- Cardiac hypertrophy: enlargement or thickening of the heart muscle, often seen in conditions such as hypertension or valvular heart disease
Minimally Invasive Procedure
ECG is a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting. During the test, electrodes (small adhesive patches) are placed on the skin of the chest, arms, and legs, and connected to the ECG machine. The machine records the electrical signals produced by the heart as it beats, producing a graphical representation of the heart's electrical activity.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Report
After the ECG recording is completed, the data is analyzed by our experienced cardiologists to generate a comprehensive diagnostic report. This report provides detailed information about heart rate, rhythm, and conduction intervals, as well as any abnormalities or findings detected during the test.
