An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test that can be used to check your heart's rhythm and electrical activity.
It can be used to investigate symptoms of a possible heart problem, such as chest pain, palpitations (suddenly noticeable heartbeats), dizziness and shortness of breath.
An ECG can help detect:
arrhythmias – where the heart beats too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly
coronary heart disease – where the heart's blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances
heart attacks – where the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked
An ECG is a quick, safe and painless test. No electricity is put into your body while it's carried out.
