How Can an ECG Test Be Done at Home?
We provide you with a tentative time window for our technician to visit your home and perform the ECG test once you have completed the booking process. The ECG machine will be brought by our technician; you will need to limit your movement and lie flat on your back on a cozy table or even in bed.
The technician will apply electrodes, which are tiny sticky patches, to your arms, legs, and chest. The electrodes that are connected to the ECG equipment allow it to read electrical pulses and heart rate and display the data in a wave-like fashion.
In order to do the process, the technician may also ask you to hold your breath for a brief period of time.
