ECG (Electrocardiogram)
Get a clear picture of your heart health
At R·MEDYᴹᴰ Health, screening ECGs are performed to empower our clients with their own heart health knowledge and provide early insight into any potential risks.
What's Electrocardiogram (ECGs)?
An Electrocardiogram (ECGs) is a non-invasive, quick, and painless test that can provide valuable information about a person’s heart health. ECGs are used to help diagnose various heart conditions such as irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), heart attacks, and other abnormalities.
During an ECG, electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs to detect the electrical signals that the heart produces as it beats. The signals are recorded and displayed on a graph, which can then be interpreted by a healthcare professional to determine if there are any abnormalities in your heart’s rhythm or function.
Who is it for?
A screening ECG is a simple way to assess a patients heart health and aids in the early identification of concerns or evaluate the heart's activity in relation to current symptoms.
