ECG

Among its many vital purposes, the ECG test monitors the electrical activity of the heart to spot arrhythmias, checks for evidence of past heart attacks, and evaluates the general health of the heart. It assists medical professionals in assessing the heart's rate and rhythm, which helps them make treatment decisions for a range of cardiac disorders. A crucial tool in cardiovascular care, ECGs can also help to diagnose structural abnormalities and electrolyte imbalances.

The Price of an ECG is Rs. 200. However, cost of the test may fluctuate depending on following factors:

• Other tests advised along with ECG
• Offers or discounts
• Empanelment of the patient
