ECG (Electro cardio gram)

 °•√ -Hello everybody, welcome to my blog for new and existing and medical treatment and knowledge

ECG-   

✓ Eelectrocardiogram(ECG) records the electrical signal from your heart to check for different heart conditions. Electrodes are placed on your chest to record your heart's electrical signals, which cause your heart to beat. 



Why ECG test is done?

Answer- ECG tests usually cause trouble in the blood vessels that carry blood to the heart, lack of oxygen, blockage of the veins, abnormal state of tissue, severe chest pain or swelling, shortness of breath, heart attack symptoms and other heart problems.  To find out is done.  Physicians detect heart diseases through waves or heartbeat emanating from the arteries and the heart.

2 .This test is very cheap and easy?
  Answer- Many times people think about ECG test whether it is too expensive or they will have to face trouble in getting this test done.  But let us tell you that ECG test is very cheap and painless.  ECG tests are usually done from 100 to 200 rupees easily.

4- When is the ECG test done?

 When there is a persistent high blood pressure problem.

 When you have severe chest pain.

 When the heartbeat becomes abnormal and continues to fluctuate.

 When there is chest and chest discomfort and difficulty in breathing.

 When there is sudden nervousness and sweating, that is, symptoms of heart disease are seen.

 When diabetes can not be controlled and its effects start to appear on the heart.

 When the arteries that carry blood to the heart are blocked and blood does not reach the heart.

 When blood does not reach the heart due to blood clotting.

 When there is a problem in the heart valve.

 When severe symptoms of heart disease appear.

 Sometimes medicines are also used to know the side effects of medicines on the heart.

6-What happens after an electrocardiogram?

You should be able to go back to your normal diet and activities, unless your doctor tells you differently.

Generally, there is no special care after an electrocardiogram (ECG).Tell your doctor if you develop any signs or symptoms you had before the ECG (for example, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting).

Yourdoctor may give you other instructions after the test, depending on your particular situation.

Next steps

Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:

  1. ✓The name of the test or procedure
  2. ✓The reason you are having the test or procedure
  3. ✓What results to expect and what they mean
  4. ✓ The risks and benefits of the test or procedure
  5.  ✓ What the possible side effects or complications are
  6. ✓ When and where you are to have the test or procedure
  7. ✓Who will do the test or procedure and what that person’s qualifications are
  8. ✓What would happen if you did not have the test or procedure
  9. ✓Any alternative tests or procedures to think about
  10.  ✓ When and how will you get the results
  11. ✓ Who to call after the test or procedure if you have questions or problems
  12. ✓ How much will you have to pay for the test or procedure
  13. ∆✓ Defects or abnormalities in the heart’s shape and size: An abnormal EKG can signal that one or more aspects of the heart’s walls are larger than another. This can signal that the heart is working harder than normal to pump blood.

    Electrolyte imbalances: Electrolytes are electricity-conducting particles in the body that help keep the heart muscle beating in rhythm. Potassium, calcium, and magnesium are electrolytes. If your electrolytes are imbalanced, you may have an abnormal EKG reading.

    Heart attack or ischemia: During a heart attack, blood flow in the heart is affected and heart tissue can begin to lose oxygen and die. This tissue will not conduct electricity as well, which can cause an abnormal EKG. Ischemia, or lack of blood flow, may also cause an abnormal EKG.

    Heart rate abnormalities: A typical human heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). An EKG can determine if the heart is beating too fast or too slow.

    Heart rhythm abnormalities: A heart typically beats in a steady rhythm. An EKG can reveal if the heart is beating out of rhythm or sequence.

    Medication side effects: Taking certain medications can impact a heart’s rate and rhythm. Sometimes, medications given to improve the heart’s rhythm can have the reverse effect and cause arrhythmias. Examples of medications that affect heart rhythm include beta-blockers, sodium channel blockers, and calcium channel blockers.
