What happens in an ECG?
An ECG may take between 10-15 minutes to carry out and involves taking information from different areas of the heart. To do this electrodes are attached to each ankle and each wrist with sticky pads and then 6 more pads are attached to your chest.
Once that has been done you lie almost flat with your head and chest slightly raised.
A recording of your heart’s electrical activity is then made to see if there are any issues with your heart rate or rhythm.
Who would benefit from an ECG?
You might benefit from an ECG if you’ve noticed:
- Your heart racing, skipping, or beating irregularly
- Breathlessness that doesn’t feel normal for you
- Chest discomfort or unexplained tightness
- Feeling lightheaded or dizzy
- You’ve been told your blood pressure is high
Or if:
