electrocardiogram is a painless, noninvasive way to help diagnose many common heart problems in people of all ages.

Cardiologistmay use an electrocardiogram to detect:

• Irregularities in your heart rhythm (arrhythmias)

If blocked or narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery disease) are causing chest pain or a heart attack

• Structural problems with your heart's chambers

• A previous heart attack

• How well certain ongoing heart disease treatments, such as a pacemaker, are working

• You may need a heart rhythm test if you experience any of the following signs and symptoms:

Heart palpitations

Rapid pulse

Chest pain

Shortness of breath

Dizziness, lightheadedness or confusion

Weakness, fatigue or a decline in ability to exercise

The American Heart Association doesn't recommend using electrocardiograms to assess adults at low risk who don't have symptoms. But if you have a family history of heart disease, your doctor may suggest an electrocardiogram as an early screening test, even if you have no symptoms.

So get an ecg done when you need it...please don't hesitate in getting it done when you need it the most..
