ECG (Electrocardiogram)

Quick, Safe Test to Check Your Heart’s Health and Rhythm

🧾 What is an ECG?

An ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a simple, painless test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It shows how fast your heart is beating, its rhythm, and if any part is overworked or damaged.

At Dr. Anand’s Imaging & Neurological Research Centre, we use advanced digital ECG machines for quick and accurate results, helping your doctor plan the right treatment.
