Electrocardiogram or ECG

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a commonly used test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It is a simple, non-invasive procedure involving small electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs to detect electrical signals produced by each heartbeat.

Doctors consulting from Montier Health Langwarrin may request or perform ECG testing as part of assessing and investigating heart-related symptoms or risk factors. The results can assist in identifying abnormal heart rhythms, signs of heart strain, or other cardiac concerns.

ECGs may be recommended for individuals with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or a history of heart disease. They may also be used when patients present with symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting.

Based on the results, your doctor may discuss treatment options, monitor existing conditions, or arrange further cardiac investigations if required.

ECG testing is generally performed at the clinic and does not require specific preparation.

To arrange an ECG, please book an appointment online or contact the clinic for further information.
