ECG (Electrocardiogram) at Tarlac Medical Center
An ECG, also known as an EKG or electrocardiogram, is a simple, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. At Tarlac Medical Center, we perform ECG tests to help physicians evaluate heart rhythm, detect abnormalities, and assess overall cardiac health.
Our ECG services are conducted by trained medical staff using calibrated equipment to ensure accurate and reliable ECG tracings.
What Is an ECG Tracing (Electrocardiogram)?
An electrocardiogram is a diagnostic test that measures the heart’s electrical signals through electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs. The resulting ECG tracing provides valuable information about heart rate, rhythm, and electrical conduction.
ECG tests are commonly requested to:
- Evaluate chest pain or palpitations
- Detect irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
- Assess heart function before surgery
- Monitor known heart conditions
- Investigate symptoms such as dizziness or shortness of breath
ECG, EKG, and Electrocardiogram: What’s the Difference?
The terms ECG, EKG, and electrocardiogram refer to the same heart test. “EKG” comes from the German term Elektrokardiogramm, while “ECG” is the English abbreviation. Both are medically correct and used interchangeably.
ECG Test Procedure
The ECG test procedure is quick and painless:
- Small electrodes are attached to the skin
- You will be asked to lie still during the recording
- The machine captures the heart’s electrical activity
- The ECG tracing is reviewed by a physician
The entire electrocardiogram test usually takes only a few minutes.
ECG Tracing and Interpretation
An ECG tracing shows wave patterns that represent different phases of the heart’s electrical cycle. Physicians analyze the tracing to identify abnormalities such as rhythm disturbances, conduction delays, or signs of heart strain.
ECG Holter Monitoring
For patients who require longer monitoring, ECG Holter testing may be requested. This involves continuous electrocardiogram recording over an extended period to capture intermittent or activity-related heart rhythm changes.
