Electrocardiography (ECG) at Ghanaian-German Specialist Hospital (GGSH)
Accurate Diagnosis. Early Detection. German Precision. Ghanaian Commitment
Our Electrocardiography (ECG) service is a critical part of our diagnostic toolkit—designed to detect, monitor, and manage heart-related conditions with speed, precision, and compassion. Whether you’re experiencing chest pain, palpitations, or undergoing a routine check-up, our ECG services provide vital insights into your heart’s health.
What is an ECG?
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a painless, noninvasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It helps diagnose a wide range of heart conditions, including:
- Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
- Coronary artery disease
- Heart attacks (past or ongoing)
- Structural abnormalities of the heart
- Effects of heart medications
Using sensors (electrodes) attached to the skin, the ECG captures signals that are translated into waveforms—allowing our specialists to interpret how your heart is functioning in real time.
