An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a simple, quick, and painless test used to measure the electrical activity of the heart. It helps detect irregularities in heart rhythm, identify signs of a previous or current heart attack, and monitor the effectiveness of cardiac treatments. Small electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs to record the heart’s electrical signals.

At Dr. Vishwanath Yadav’s cardiac clinic, ECG is one of the essential diagnostic tools used during routine check-ups or in response to symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, or palpitations. The test is non-invasive and typically takes just a few minutes, yet it provides crucial insights into the heart’s function and rhythm. It can also help identify conditions such as arrhythmias, heart enlargement, or ischemia.

Dr. Vishwanath Yadav ensures that each ECG is accurately interpreted and explained to the patient. Based on the results, further tests or treatments may be recommended if needed. Regular ECG screening is particularly important for individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of heart disease, or those over the age of 40.
