ECG (Electrocardiogram)
At Yarrabilba Cardiology, an Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a quick, painless, and safe test used to measure the electrical activity of your heart. By placing small electrodes on your chest, the ECG captures a detailed recording of your heart’s rhythm, rate, and the strength of electrical impulses as they travel through different parts of the heart.
The standard 12-lead ECG, which takes only about 5 minutes, provides vital information to help our cardiologist diagnose and manage a range of heart conditions. This simple yet powerful test can detect irregular heart rhythms, assess overall heart function, and aid in the early detection of potential issues, ensuring you receive the best possible care.
Utilizing speckle-tracking technology to assess cardiac function, our Strain Imaging detects early signs of cardiomyopathy and monitors treatment effectiveness.
This advanced echocardiography technique evaluates left and right ventricular function, aiding diagnosis of heart failure, coronary artery disease, and cardiac fibrosis.
