At Brindabella Medical Centre, we provide comprehensive diagnostic services, including Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Spirometry, to assess and monitor your heart and lung health. These non-invasive tests are essential tools in diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, ensuring you receive the best possible care.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple and quick test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It helps in detecting heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac abnormalities. Our experienced General Practitioners (GPs) will analyze the ECG results to determine if your heart is functioning normally or if further investigation or treatment is required.
Who Might Need an ECG?
- Individuals experiencing chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness.
- Patients with a history of heart disease or those at risk of developing heart conditions.
- Individuals requiring a baseline heart health assessment before starting certain medications or undergoing surgery.
- Those with hypertension, diabetes, or other chronic conditions that increase the risk of heart disease.
What to Expect During an ECG An ECG is a straightforward procedure. Small electrodes will be placed on your chest, arms, and legs to detect the electrical signals from your heart. The test usually takes just a few minutes, and you can resume your normal activities immediately afterward. The results are typically available promptly, allowing your GP to discuss them with you during your visit.
