Electrocardiogram (ECG) Services

An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a simple, painless test that measures the electrical activity of your heart. At SNR Carnival Hospital, we provide comprehensive ECG services to help diagnose various heart conditions with accuracy and precision.

Resting ECG

Standard ECG performed while you're lying down to assess heart rhythm and detect abnormalities.

Stress ECG (TMT)

Exercise ECG performed while walking on a treadmill to evaluate heart function under stress.

Holter Monitoring

24-48 hour continuous ECG recording to detect intermittent heart rhythm problems.

Event Monitoring

Long-term monitoring for patients with infrequent symptoms using portable devices.

What is an ECG Used For?

An ECG can help diagnose various heart conditions including:

  • Heart rhythm abnormalities (arrhythmias)
  • Coronary artery disease
  • Heart attacks (previous or current)
  • Enlargement of heart chambers
  • Inflammation of the heart (pericarditis or myocarditis)
  • Congenital heart defects
  • Effect of certain medications on the heart
  • Function of implanted pacemakers

What to Expect During an ECG?

1
Preparation

No special preparation needed. Wear comfortable clothing.

2
Electrode Placement

Small electrodes are attached to your chest, arms, and legs.

3
Recording

Lie still while the machine records your heart's electrical activity.

Important Information

An ECG is completely safe and painless. There's no risk of electric shock during the test as the electrodes only record electrical activity and don't emit electricity.

Frequently Asked Questions

A standard resting ECG typically takes about 5-10 minutes from preparation to completion. The actual recording of the heart's electrical activity takes only a few minutes.

No special preparation is needed for a resting ECG. You can eat and drink normally before the test. For a stress ECG (Treadmill Test), you may be asked to avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and smoking for a few hours before the test.

Yes, ECG is completely safe during pregnancy. It's a non-invasive test that only records the heart's natural electrical activity and doesn't use radiation or emit any energy that could harm the mother or baby.

At SNR Carnival Hospital, we provide ECG reports within 30 minutes of the test. The report will be reviewed by our cardiologist, and you can discuss the results with your doctor during your consultation.
