What is ECG Testing?

An ECG (electrocardiogram) heart scan is a basic investigation to help diagnose if there are any potential problems with your heart function. The test is for anyone who experiences:

  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Shortness of breath as you exert yourself 
  • Significantly high blood pressure
  • Heart palpitations
  • A suspected heart valve problem 

ECG testing is completely safe and pain-free. It involves attaching a number of sticky electrodes or small sensors to the arms, legs and chest area.

Frequently asked questions

What can an ECG show?

An ECG shows your heart rhythm and electrical activity as a graph on an ECG machine.

How long will an ECG test take?

Depending on the type of ECG test required, an ECG test will take between 10-15 minutes, Ambulatory ECGs will take 10 – 15 mins to fit and the monitor will need to be returned to the clinic at the end of the test.

What happens during the ECG test?

12 Lead testing

This test takes around 15 mins and is done while you are at the clinic. ECG pads are attached to your chest, arms and legs and the recording taken. The pads are removed before you leave the clinic. A report is then sent to your GP or referrer. To perform an ECG, we will need access to your arms, legs and bare chest so please bear this in mind when preparing for the test.

When will I receive my results?

Your results will be analysed by a qualified ECG analyser and will be sent to your nominated GP in 3 working days. The results include a written report and graphics of your heart rate over a certain period.
