Electrocardiogram (ECG)

ECG includes Resting ECG & Treadmill Stress Test. Resting ECG records heart rates and rhythm in resting condition. Some heart disorders cannot be detected by Resting ECG. Treadmill Stress Test is able to detect some minor blood vessel narrowing while the client is under stress and exercise status.

ECG is a record of the electrical impulses which stimulate the heart to contract. It demonstrates abnormal rhythm changes, cardiac arrhythmia, ischaemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, etc. It is usually the first examination for clients with suspected heart disorders.
