Understanding ECG & Diagnostic Screenings
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): A non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It helps detect irregular rhythms, chest pain causes, and cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias or heart enlargement.
- Basic health screenings: Include tests such as blood pressure checks, blood sugar levels, cholesterol profiles, and other laboratory investigations that assess general health and identify early warning signs.
These tests are quick, painless, and form an important foundation of preventive care.
Signs You May Need Screening
You should consider ECG and diagnostic testing if you:
- Experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations
- Have high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol
- Have a family history of heart disease or stroke
- Are starting a new fitness or weight loss program
- Feel fatigued, dizzy, or experience unexplained weakness
- Need pre-employment, travel, or pre-surgical medical clearance
