ECG (Electrocardiogram) in Bila Tserkva

Electrocardiography is one of the safest types of examination and may be performed even in newborns. It provides useful information about the state of the heart. You can get an ECG in Bila Tserkva at CSM Clinic. The examination is performed on modern equipment by experienced specialists. CSM Clinic is a full-cycle clinic, offering care from diagnosis to treatment and recovery.

An ECG is a non-invasive, painless examination of the central organ of circulation. It allows the functional state of the heart muscle to be assessed. An electrocardiograph (the device that records the ECG) registers the electrical impulses generated in the heart, which can be used to identify the presence of disease. Almost any doctor, including a general practitioner or an emergency physician, can perform the test. In our clinic, the ECG is interpreted by an experienced cardiologist.

Preparing for an ECG

Before the test, the patient should tell the specialist about any medications they are currently taking. This mainly concerns medications for hypertension and cardiac glycosides.

General recommendations for preparing for the test:

• do not smoke or drink coffee for two hours before the ECG;
• sedatives are not recommended on the day of the test;
• avoid physical exercise and sports on the day of the procedure;
• wear comfortable clothing that allows the chest, wrists and legs below the knees to be exposed.

Electrocardiogram: How It Is Performed

A resting electrocardiogram is performed in several steps:

• the patient lies horizontally on a couch with the upper body exposed;
• the areas of skin for the electrodes are degreased with a special product;
• a gel that improves electrical conductivity is applied to the electrodes or to the skin;
• the specialist attaches the electrocardiograph electrodes to the patient's body in a specific order (2 on the arms and legs, 6 on the chest);
• before the test begins, the patient should relax and stay still.

Holter monitoring is one of the additional types of testing that can detect certain heart conditions. It is used for patients who have had a myocardial infarction. The method is also indicated for assessing the functioning of the cardiovascular system in heart defects of various origins. It is informative in arrhythmia, chronic heart failure and other conditions.

How Holter monitoring is performed:

• electrodes are placed on the patient's body in the same way as for a resting ECG and are secured with adhesive tape;
• the patient is given a special recorder connected to the electrodes (it should be carried with them throughout the monitoring period);
• the ECG is recorded continuously or in fragments if the patient's condition worsens;
• the patient keeps a record of their daily routine with exact times, including stress and physical exercise;
• as prescribed by the cardiologist, the patient may perform exercise tests during monitoring.

ECG Results

The ECG is interpreted by a cardiologist or a functional diagnostics doctor. The tracing shows waves of different lengths and heights placed on a baseline. The waves and the intervals between them are marked with Latin letters. During interpretation, the doctor compares the test result with normal values, assessing the duration of the waves in seconds and their amplitude in millimeters. The duration of intervals in seconds is also assessed. Based on the ECG results, the doctor can draw up a treatment plan or order additional tests.
