Get an ECG (Electrocardiography) in Kyiv

Heart disease may not show any signs for some time, or it may cause symptoms that a person does not connect with heart problems. For example, recurring unpleasant sensations in the left arm or a persistent cough at night without signs of a cold. This can allow the condition to progress and cost you valuable time, when treating the disease would be more effective and less costly. 

A preventive electrocardiography (ECG) once a year is a way to quickly check that there are no signs of problems in the rhythm of your heart. For residents of the capital and its guests, such tests are performed by CSM Clinic in Kyiv. You can choose a convenient time for the examination, so the test will not significantly change your schedule. 

What is an ECG and how is the test done?

An ECG records the electrical impulses of the heart using special equipment. For the person being examined, everything takes place in comfortable conditions. You need to lie still on a comfortable couch for a few minutes while sensors attached to the body record the rhythm of your heart.

You have probably seen a long strip of paper with many wavy lines in medical records? This is what the paper report of an electrocardiogram looks like.

The ECG report is interpreted by a cardiologist, but even during the procedure the specialist performing the test may get an idea of the condition of your cardiovascular system. Problems such as rhythm disturbances, signs of ischemia, or signs of a previous heart attack can show up on the tracings.

Electrocardiography: do you need to prepare for a heart test? 

The heart responds sensitively to physical exertion, caffeine in the body, and nervous tension, and it is worth taking this into account in advance. On the day of the test, it is better to skip a morning run, long sessions of exercise with dumbbells, and coffee, energy drinks, or strong tea. During the ECG itself, you should stay calm and try not to think about the matters that, as people often say, make your blood pressure jump.
