THE IMPORTANCE OF ECG TEST


ECG or echocardiogram is a test to check the smooth running of the heart. This is the easiest test to check on the functioning of the heart, its muscles and its valves. Helvetia Diagnostics and Healthcare is providing the ecg test in south delhi, at its centre in GK I. ECG is a non invasive test where the electrodes are superficially placed on the thorax and the reading of the heart beat is then electronically recorded and the result is printed out. The doctor present is able to identify any irregularities in the heart by studying these electronic impulses. This tool is used to assess the electrical and muscular impulses of the heart. Even though this is a simple technique, yet a significant amount of training and experience is required to read and interpret these impulses.

In case there is any doubt in the readings of the ECG, then an echocardiography or a stress echo can be advised. These tests help provide further investigation into the well being of the heart. These tests are also conducted on unborn babies, called Fetal echo, which helps determine the well being of the heart of the unborn baby. All these tests including the ecg test in south delhi are conducted at the Helvetia Diagnostics and Healthcare diagnostic centre in south Delhi.

In case a person is undergoing a heart attack the confirmation of the same can be obtained by a simple ECG. Since the machine is small in size, it is easy to carry and is portable. So in case the patient is not well and is old and immobile then this machine can be carried to the patient and the test can be conducted at the site. Along with the ECG a blood test is also usually recommended to ascertain the complete well being of the heart. The blood test is able to accurately identify any heart related abnormalities including cholesterol and blood infections. High cholesterol usually manifests itself as blockages in the arteries leading to and out from the heart. This anomaly is usually seen in echocardiography and stress echo. In the ECG the electrical impulses sent and recoded will also show an irregularity. Thus the ecg test in south delhi is a complete non invasive way to identify any irregularities in the electronic impulses of the heart. a visit to the website at www.helvetiadiagnostics.com reveals all the services available at the centre.
