Electrocardiogram in KL and Selangor
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Whether you’re experiencing symptoms like chest pain or irregular heartbeats, or simply need routine heart monitoring, our team is here to help. At Dr Prevents, we offer comprehensive electrocardiogram (ECG) services, designed to evaluate and monitor your heart’s electrical activity quickly and accurately.
What is an Electrocardiogram (ECG)?
An electrocardiogram, or ECG, is a non-invasive test that records the electrical signals in your heart. These signals control the heart’s rhythm and pumping function, and abnormalities can indicate various heart conditions.
The procedure is simple, painless, and typically takes just 5–10 minutes. Small electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs to measure electrical impulses. Results can often be provided immediately.
Types of ECG Tests
We provide different ECG tests to suit your needs. Your doctor will recommend the most suitable option based on your symptoms and health history.
Resting ECG
Conducted while you’re at rest to detect heart irregularities.
Exercise Stress Test
Monitors your heart’s activity during physical exertion.
Holter Monitoring
Records heart activity over 24–48 hours for a more detailed analysis.

What We're Looking For
An ECG is a critical tool for diagnosing and monitoring various heart conditions, including:
Irregular Rhythms (Arrhythmias)
Your heartbeat should maintain a steady rhythm. Disruptions in this rhythm—whether too fast, too slow, or inconsistently—are known as arrhythmias. These conditions can range from harmless to life-threatening.
Heart Disease
For individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD), where blockages in the arteries reduce blood flow to the heart, an ECG can detect telltale signs such as abnormal patterns or oxygen deprivation.
Palpitations and Chest Pain
Symptoms like fluttering sensations in the chest, skipped beats, or unexplained chest pain can be unsettling. An ECG can distinguish between benign causes, like stress, and more serious problems, like ischemia or arrhythmias.
Chronic Conditions
If you have conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol—or a family history of cardiovascular issues—your heart may be at higher risk. Regular ECGs can act as a preventative measure, catching early signs of trouble before symptoms develop.
Benefits of Regular ECG Testing
Routine ECGs can help catch heart issues early, even before symptoms develop.
Early Diagnosis: Abnormalities in the heart’s electrical activity—like arrhythmias, blocked arteries, or structural problems—can be identified before symptoms arise.
Better Treatment Outcomes: When heart problems are identified early, treatment options are typically more effective and less invasive.
Peace of Mind: Living with uncertainty about your heart can be stressful, especially if you’ve had symptoms like palpitations or chest discomfort. Regular ECG testing provides clarity and reassurance.
Who Should Consider an ECG?
An ECG may be recommended if you:
- Experience symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
- Have risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, or high cholesterol.
- Have a personal or family history of heart disease.
What to Expect for Your ECG Appointment
Preparation: You’ll lie down comfortably while a technician attaches small, sticky electrode patches to your skin.
Recording: The ECG machine records the electrical signals from your heart. You’ll need to stay still and breathe normally for accurate results.
Review: Your doctor will analyze the results, looking for irregularities in your heart’s rhythm or structure.
The entire process is painless, and there’s no downtime—you can return to your regular activities immediately.
