An electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as an EKG, is a noninvasive and painless test to monitor the electrical activity of your heart. It is the easiest method to check your heart’s rhythm and electrical signals and detect various heart conditions at an early stage.

When Do You Need to Get an ECG Test done?

If you are experiencing typical symptoms or want a routine cardiac checkup in Dubai, an ECG test will give your doctor clear insights into your heart health. At JTS, the best cardiology clinic in Dubai, we recommend an electrocardiogram test when you are experiencing the following symptoms:

High BP or Cholesterol
Chest Discomfort
Shortness of Breath
Severe Tiredness
Dizziness
Fainting
History of Heart Disease in the family.

An ECG test near you detects signs of a heart attack in the past, irregularities in your ECG rhythm or any abnormal ECG pattern, such as arrhythmias.

How does the ECG test work?

The heart has tiny electrical impulses that coordinate with different parts within it to help it keep a steady rhythm of blood flow. The ECG is a special test that interprets these signals to determine whether your heartbeat is steady or irregular. It calculates the timing of these electrical signals as they move through different parts of the heart.

No electricity is passed through your body. It is a noninvasive and painless procedure done at your Cardiologists’ clinic. The doctor then measures and interprets the ECG result to determine whether everything is running as smoothly as it should or if any irregular spikes in the reading might mean there is an underlying heart condition that needs treatment to help you recover quickly.

Here is a Step by Step procedure during an ECG/ Electrocardiogram Test

You can get an ECG test as an outpatient or as an inpatient at a hospital, based on your situation.

How to prepare for your ECG test?

You will be asked to change into a hospital gown and remove all jewellery that might interfere during the test.
The ECG Technician will attach Small wires with electrodes to your chest, arms and legs.
The ECG test begins and takes about 15-30 mins, depending on the reading quality. (You are expected to stay still during the reading as movements may interfere in the accuracy of the reading)
Once the ECG test is completed, the wires with the electrodes are removed. The results are printed out and handed over to you or to the doctor in charge.

How to read an ECG TEST report?

The printed report with the ECG curves will show the spikes in the electric signals that move through your heart. While a normal ECG curve will show consistent waves that indicate a healthy sinus rhythm, an abnormal or deviating curve may indicate ECG abnormalities. Our highly experienced Cardiologists in Dubai are adept at ECG interpretation and can easily identify any changes in the electrical activity.

What Is the Normal Range of an ECG Test?

Normal ECG curves typically include:

A heart rate between 60 to 100 bpm
Regular intervals between heart patterns seen through the P, QRS, and T waves
Clear and consistent Electrocardiogram sinus rhythm

Any abnormality in these findings may indicate mild or severe underlying heart conditions, for which your doctor will advise you on the proper treatment.
