ECG Treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata

An electrocardiogram, commonly referred to as an ECG or EKG, is a quick, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It is used to diagnose certain heart conditions and other abnormalities associated with the cardiac system.

At Manipal Hospitals, we offer the best ECG Treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata, by combining cutting-edge equipment with clinical expertise.

Why is an ECG done?

An ECG helps diagnose and pinpoint the following conditions:

  • Arrhythmia, an abnormal heartbeat

  • Heart attack 

  • Congenital heart disease

  • Issues with heart valves

  • Poor blood flow to the heart muscles, which may be due to coronary artery disease

  • Enlarged heart chambers

  • Heart damage or failure 

As a hospital offering top Electrocardiogram services in EM Bypass, Kolkata, we recommend an ECG before any surgery to assess your heart status for the procedure.

What happens before the ECG procedure?

  • You will need to remove all metallic objects and jewellery from your body

  • You will be asked not to apply lotions or oils before the electrodes are fixed

  • You will be asked to lie flat on an examining table

  • Our technician will clean the selected area where the electrodes will be placed

What happens during the ECG procedure?

The ECG Treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata, involves the following steps:

  • Small, sticky electrodes are attached to the chest, arms and legs

  • Then, our technician will connect them to an ECG machine with lead wires

  • You will be asked to relax and breathe normally while the machine records the electrical activity from the heart. 

This procedure is painless and should take only around 5 to 10 minutes. The ECG machine produces a graph, or tracing, that shows the electrical signals as they travel through the heart.

What happens after the ECG procedure?

The electrodes are removed after the ECG test, and you can immediately resume normal activities.

Our doctor will interpret the ECG results to check for any abnormalities in the heart's rate or rhythm, and will inform you when the reports are ready. 

What are the possible complications of an ECG?

ECG is a low-risk imaging procedure that generally carries no risk. You may feel some skin discomfort when the sticky patches are removed. Our doctors will address any discomfort or pain that can arise during the procedure. Manipal Hospitals has the best team and advanced technology to deliver prompt and accurate results, making us a trusted provider of Electrocardiogram services in EM Bypass, Kolkata.

FAQ's

The frequency of undergoing an ECG test will depend on your health condition and risk factors. If you have heart conditions, our cardiologists recommend undergoing regular ECG tests. If you do not have any history of heart disorders, you can get it done during general check-ups.
 

Wearable ECG devices, such as smartwatches or portable monitors, use small electrodes to measure your heart’s electrical activity. These devices can continuously monitor the heart and alert you to any irregularities. Data is often synced via a smartphone app or can be sent directly to our doctor for review, enabling real-time monitoring and early detection of potential heart issues.
 

The results of ECG treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata, are usually ready within days and can direct further testing or treatment if necessary. If conducted during an emergency or urgent care visit, we make the test results available to you immediately.

Yes, an ECG is valuable in detecting changes in electrical activity that may indicate a heart attack. It can reveal abnormal patterns, such as changes in the ST segment, T wave, and Q wave. This suggests heart muscle injury due to ischaemia or infarction. Therefore, an ECG is highly useful in both the diagnosis and management of myocardial infarction.
 

The usual abnormalities identified with an ECG are:

  • Arrhythmias—an irregular heartbeat

  • Bradycardia—a slow heart rate

  • Tachycardia—a fast heart rate

  • Atrial fibrillation- an abnormal heart rhythm caused by the upper chambers of the heart

  • Myocardial ischemia - the heart muscle does not get enough blood and oxygen

  • Myocardial infarction - damage or death of the heart due to prolonged ischemia

Other abnormalities may include changes in the heart’s electrical direction (axis), thickening or enlargement of one of the heart’s chambers, and delays in the heart’s electrical signals, such as bundle branch blocks.
