ECG test in Pimpri Chinchwad

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the simplest and fastest tests used to evaluate the heart. Electrodes (small, plastic patches that stick to the skin) are placed at certain spots on the chest, arms, and legs. The electrodes are connected to an ECG machine by lead wires. The electrical activity of the heart is then measured, interpreted, and printed out. No electricity is sent into the body.

Megavision Diagnostics Centres provides ECG test in Pimpri Chinchwad. Natural electrical impulses coordinate contractions of the different parts of the heart to keep blood flowing the way it should. An ECG records these impulses to show how fast the heart is beating, the rhythm of the heart beats (steady or irregular), and the strength and timing of the electrical impulses as they move through the different parts of the heart.

A series of ECGs can also be taken over time to monitor a person already diagnosed with a heart condition or taking medication known to potentially affect the heart. An ECG can help detect:

  • arrhythmias – where the heart beats too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly
  • coronary heart disease – where the heart's blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances
  • heart attacks – where the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked
    cardiomyopathy – where the heart walls become thickened or enlarged

our doctor may recommend an EKG if you’re experiencing symptoms or signs that may suggest a heart problem, including:

  • pain in your chest
  • trouble breathing
  • feeling tired or weak
  • pounding, racing, or fluttering of your heart
  • a feeling that your heart is beating unevenly
  • detection of unusual sounds when your doctor listens to your heart

An EKG will help your doctor determine the cause of your symptoms along with what type of treatment might be necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are few, if any, risks related to an EKG. Some people may experience a skin rash where electrodes were placed, but this usually goes away without treatment. People undergoing a stress test may be at risk for heart attack, but this is related to the exercise, not the EKG.
  • Normal: 60-100 bpm
  • Tachycardia: > 100 bpm
  • Bradycardia: < 60 bpm
On average, the ECG takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete and is noninvasive, painless and completely safe. During the test, the technician places 10 electrodes on the patient’s body and records the heart’s activity.
An abnormal ECG can indicate a number of different conditions. It will indicate when a patient has abnormalities in his or her heart rate or rhythm. The typical heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute and remains fairly steady. If a patient’s heart rate is too slow or fast or is uneven, an EKG will pick up on it. The ECG can also test for the heart’s shape and size to determine whether there are any noticeable abnormalities.
