electrocardiogram. An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart. The
test only takes about five minutes and involves lying on a bed and having sticky

the electrodes. A paper tracing of your heart’s rhythm is then generated by the
recorder. An ECG does not involved needles and is absolutely painless. Outpatient ECGs are performed
