What an ECG records

An electrocardiogram records the electrical activity of the heart, including rate and rhythm. DDK?s archived facilities information lists ECG. Confirm the type of examination offered and any clinician request before visiting.

General test information: NHS patient information. Local availability and arrangements must be confirmed with DDK.

Preparing for a conversation

Confirm the ECG arrangement before travelling

An ECG records heart electrical activity, but different examination arrangements may apply to different requests. Ask which type the hospital currently offers, whether a clinician request is needed and what preparation is advised. Confirm how the record or report will be provided and who will review it. The website neither interprets results nor confirms a diagnosis.
