ECG Services
SR Scanning Center offers quick and accurate 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) services for heart health monitoring and pre-surgical clearance.
Standard 12-Lead ECG
An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a simple, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. At SR Scanning Center, we use advanced 12-lead ECG machines that provide a comprehensive view of the heart's rhythm and electrical pathways.
Sensors (electrodes) are attached to your chest, arms, and legs. These sensors detect the electrical signals produced by your heart each time it beats. These signals are recorded by the machine and examined by a doctor to see if they are unusual.
This test helps in detecting heart attacks, arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), and other cardiac abnormalities instantly.
Key Highlights
- Painless and non-invasive procedure.
- Takes less than 10 minutes.
- Immediate digital reporting.
- Detects irregular rhythms and past heart attacks.
Pre-Operative ECG Clearance
Before undergoing any major surgery, surgeons often require an ECG to ensure your heart is strong enough to handle anesthesia and the stress of the procedure. This is a standard safety protocol for patients above a certain age or those with a history of heart disease.
We provide rapid pre-operative ECG testing with quick reporting so your surgery schedule is not delayed. Our reports are accepted by all major hospitals and surgeons.
Key Highlights
- Mandatory for most surgeries involving anesthesia.
- Ensures patient safety during operations.
- Quick turnaround time for reports.
Evaluation of Chest Pain & Palpitations
If you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or heart palpitations (a feeling that your heart is racing or fluttering), an ECG is the first diagnostic test performed.
It can immediately reveal if you are having a heart attack (Myocardial Infarction) or if there is a problem with the heart's conduction system. Early detection through ECG can be life-saving.
When to get checked?
- Sudden chest pain or discomfort.
- Shortness of breath.
- Feeling of skipped beats or racing heart.
- Unexplained weakness or fainting.
Preventive Cardiac Screening
Heart disease often develops silently. A routine ECG is included in many of our Master Health Check-up packages. It helps in establishing a "baseline" for your heart health.
Comparing current ECGs with past ones helps doctors detect subtle changes over time, allowing for early intervention before a major cardiac event occurs.
Key Highlights
- Part of Master Health Check-ups.
- Establishes baseline heart health.
- Recommended for adults over 40.
FAQs - ECG
No. An ECG is completely painless. No electricity is sent into your body. The electrodes simply sense the electrical activity your heart makes naturally. You might feel a slight tug when the sticky patches are removed, similar to removing a band-aid.
No, you do not need to fast. You can eat and drink normally before the test. However, avoid applying oily lotions or creams to your chest on the day of the test, as this can prevent the electrodes from sticking properly.
The actual recording takes only a few seconds. The entire process, including attaching the electrodes and printing the report, typically takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
