Home ECG

Home ECG services are particularly valuable for the following groups:

• Individuals with Serious Heart Conditions: For whom traveling may be difficult or impossible.
• People with Disabilities and Limited Mobility: Ensuring they receive necessary cardiac assessments without the stress of travel.
• Pregnant Women: Minimizing risks associated with leaving home for medical appointments.
• Elderly Individuals: Especially those with chronic illnesses requiring continual medical oversight.
• Immunocompromised Individuals: Reducing their exposure to potential health risks outside the home.

Home ECG is also ideal for those recovering from recent surgeries or severe illnesses, as well as busy individuals who cannot visit medical facilities during regular working hours.

Home ECG may be recommended if you experience:

• Shortness of breath or respiratory issues without apparent respiratory disease.
• Discomfort or pressing pains in the chest.
• Burning sensations in the chest.
• Heart rhythm disorders, including arrhythmias, tachycardia, and bradycardia.
• A history of cardiovascular disease.
• Recent cardiac or vascular surgery.
• Symptoms of angina pectoris.
• Pregnancy, where cardiovascular monitoring is necessary.
• The need to monitor disease progression or the effectiveness of ongoing treatment.

Home ECG provides a convenient and safe method to assess heart health, reducing stress for patients and offering critical medical insights in a comfortable setting.

The procedure involves:

• Preparation: The patient should lie on their back and remove clothing from the chest and ankles to facilitate electrode attachment.
• Electrode Placement: Electrodes are positioned at specific points around the heart, on the forearms, and on the lower legs to measure the heart’s electrical activity.
• Conducting the ECG: It’s essential for the patient to remain still and quiet during the test to prevent distorting the results.
• Duration: Typically, the test lasts 5-10 minutes. If a stress ECG is necessary, the procedure could extend up to 30 minutes.
