Your heart sends out electrical signals every second. An electrocardiogram (ECG) records them—often revealing hidden issues long before symptoms appear. Some of the most serious conditions don’t hurt… but leave traces in your heartbeat.
What Can an ECG Detect?
- Arrhythmias
- Ischemia (low oxygen to the heart)
- Past heart attacks (even without symptoms)
- Abnormal heart chamber size or function
When Should You Get One?
- If you feel palpitations, dizziness, or fatigue
- If you have a family history of heart disease
- If you engage in intense sports
- Before starting medications that affect the heart
- As part of a preventive health check
Fast, Accessible Technology
An ECG is fast, non-invasive, and results can be interpreted quickly. Some smartwatches can alert you to irregular rhythms, but only a medical exam gives a full picture.
Conclusion
Your heart has its own language. An ECG is one of the simplest ways to listen. Visit Dr. Diego Chango’s blog to learn how this test could give you peace of mind—or warn you in time.
