ECG (Electrocardiography) examination

An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a quick, painless and crucial test that records the electrical activity of your heart. At Vasmedic Clinic, we perform ECG tests as part of preventive check-ups, in case of heart problems or before procedures. Thanks to modern equipment and an experienced team of cardiologists, you will get accurate results and tailored recommendations.

A healthy heart is a fundamental pillar of overall health. ECG - electrocardiography is one of the most frequently performed examinations in the field of cardiology, because it provides important information about heart activity and can detect life-threatening problems in time. At the Vasmedic clinic, we offer professional ECG examinations with an emphasis on speed, accuracy and an individual approach to each patient.

What is an ECG and what is it used for?

An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a non-invasive diagnostic method that records the electrical activity of the heart muscle. Using electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs, the doctor obtains an ECG curve, which is used to assess heart function.

An ECG helps detect:

  • Heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias)
  • Narrowed or blocked coronary arteries (coronary artery disease)
  • Previous or ongoing heart attack
  • Enlargement or overload of the heart
  • The effects of certain medications on heart function

When should you have an ECG?

We recommend an ECG if you have or have had the following symptoms:

  • Heart palpitations, irregular heart rhythm
  • Chest pressure or pain
  • Shortness of breath or unexplained fatigue
  • Dizziness or brief loss of consciousness
  • High blood pressure or diabetes
  • Increased risk of heart disease in the family

The examination process

The examination takes only a few minutes and is completely painless. The patient lies on an examination bed, and the doctor attaches several small electrodes to the body to record the heart's electrical impulses. The results are available immediately, and the doctor will explain them to you right away.
