ECG
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a crucial diagnostic tool that measures the electrical activity of the heart, providing valuable information about heart health and function. At VITARA HEALTHCARE, our 12 Lead ECG services are designed to detect a range of heart conditions, including arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), coronary artery disease, and other cardiac issues. This painless, non-invasive test involves placing electrodes on the skin to record the heart's electrical signals, which are then interpreted by our skilled cardiologists.
Our advanced ECG equipment ensures precise and reliable readings, which are essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management of heart conditions. Early detection through ECG can prevent serious complications by allowing for timely intervention and treatment. Our experienced healthcare team provides a comfortable and supportive environment for the test, ensuring that patients feel at ease throughout the procedure. VITARA HEALTHCARE's commitment to excellence in cardiac care is reflected in our comprehensive ECG services, which are a cornerstone of our cardiovascular diagnostic offerings.
For the convenience of our patients, especially senior citizens, VITARA HEALTHCARE also offers home visit services to conduct 12 Lead ECGs from the comfort of your home, minimizing the need for visits to busy hospitals or clinics.
