ECG and ECG Department

Electrocardiography is a non invasive technology used to interpret and detect electrical activity of the human heart at the Bangalore Genesis Hospital. For an ECG in Bangalore, skin electrodes are used to capture the heart activity, and this is recorded on a graphical output.

The ECG Department at our hospital is fully staffed, and we have been providing top notch diagnostic services for more than a decade.

Medical conditions which require constant monitoring using ECG technology are:

• Myocardial infarction: The heart needs to be carefully monitored in a patient who has just suffered from a myocardial infarction.
• Cardiac murmurs: Cardiac murmurs are extra sounds produced by turbulent blood flow.
• Syncope: Syncope is a loss of consciousness or fainting. There could be deeper medical conditions behind syncope, and the symptoms can be further explored using an ECG test at a hospital. Cardiac syncope can be due to bradycadia and tachycardia, and other cardiac structural diseases.
• Seizures: Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. They can be caused by cardiac arrhythmias.
• During full anesthetic procedures such as surgery

Note: Not all heart diagnostic procedures are the same. For example, the difference between electrocardiography and echocardiology are:

• Echocardiology detects the pumping ability of the heart
• Electrocardiology detects the electrical activity in the heart.

A specialist doctor will be able to prescribe the most suitable diagnostic tests for your medical conditions.
