Electrocardiography (ECG)
Taal Cardiac Hospital
7, Adeojo Street, Wemabod Estate, Off Adeniyi Jones Ikeja, Lagos.
Leads from an electrocardiograph machine are attached to the skin on your arms, legs, and chest using sticky patches. These leads read signals from your heart and send this information to the electrocardiograph. The machine then prints the reading on a paper strip or on a screen.
We Offer Three Main Types of ECG Screening services:
Resting ECG Services
If there is a need for our specialist doctor to know how your heart is working while you are at rest, you will be asked to lie down and relax while the heartbeat is being recorded this is known as Resting ECG.
Stress ECG
Our cardiologist may be interested in how your heart reacts to activity and you will be asked to walk or run on a treadmill or cycle on an exercise bike while your heartbeat is recorded. This is known as Stress ECG.
24-Hour ECG
We may also need to monitor your heartbeat rate throughout the day, in which case you will be asked to wear a small electrocardiograph machine. The recordings (data) from the machine are then read by our cardiologist when you return the machine. Whatever the case may be, you are assured of our best care and services. We parade state-of-the-art technology and machines required for all the needed tests at an affordable cost and at the shortest response time.
