Need more information?
If you have any questions about ECG tests, our team is here to help. From routine heart checks to investigating symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations, we’ll guide you through the process and explain exactly what to expect.
What is an ECG and why might I need one?
An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a simple, quick, and painless test that records your heart’s electrical activity. It helps detect irregular heart rhythms and other heart conditions, such as arrhythmias or signs of past heart attacks.
What can I expect during the ECG test?
You’ll lie still while small, sticky electrodes are attached to your chest, wrists, and ankles. The test takes only a few minutes, and it’s non-invasive and painless.
When should I consider having an ECG done?
An ECG may be recommended if you’re experiencing symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, or breathlessness, or as part of routine or pre-employment health assessments.
How long does it take to get results and what happens next?
ECG results are usually available immediately after the test. A GP will review the results, explain their meaning, and advise if further tests, monitoring, or referral to a cardiologist is needed.
Is the ECG test safe, and do I need to prepare for it?
Yes—an ECG is safe with no radiation exposure or physical discomfort. There is no special preparation required. Brief skin irritation from electrode removal is possible, but the test itself poses no risk.
