Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Electrocardiogram (ECG) Services by Dr. S.K. Tripathi, D.M. Cardiology

Accurate Heart Monitoring for Early Detection and Care

An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most essential and non-invasive diagnostic tools used to assess the electrical activity of the heart. At our advanced cardiac care center, Dr. S.K. Tripathi, D.M. Cardiology and Professor of Cardiology, offers expert ECG testing and interpretation to help detect heart rhythm abnormalities, cardiac stress, and other underlying heart conditions at an early stage.

What is an ECG?

An ECG records the electrical signals that control the heart’s rhythm. It helps in identifying irregular heartbeats, damage to the heart muscle, signs of a heart attack, and other cardiac issues by analyzing wave patterns recorded from electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs.

Why ECG is Important

Early detection of heart problems can prevent serious complications such as heart attacks, heart failure, or sudden cardiac arrest. ECG is a safe, quick, and painless test that provides valuable insights into your heart’s health.

When is ECG Recommended?

1. Chest pain or discomfort

2. Shortness of breath or dizziness

3. Palpitations or irregular heartbeat

4. Monitoring heart health in diabetic, hypertensive, or high-risk patients

5. Pre-operative cardiac evaluation

6. Routine cardiac check-up for early screening

Types of ECG Services Offered

Resting ECG – Conducted while you are at rest

Stress ECG (Treadmill Test) – Evaluates heart’s response under controlled exercise

Holter Monitoring (24/48 hours ECG) – Continuous heart monitoring to detect intermittent issues

Post-Test Care and Follow-up

After the ECG, Dr. Tripathi reviews the findings and guides you through the next steps. Whether it’s lifestyle changes, medication, or further testing, you will receive detailed advice tailored to your condition.
