A resting electrocardiogram or ECG looks at your heart health and provides tracings interpreted by a medical professional.

There are many reasons you may require a resting ECG. Resting ECGs check for heart health and signs of illness such as murmurs. They are a helpful preliminary cardiovascular diagnostic tool and are commonly required:

  • Pre-surgery
  • As part of visa and employment medical
  • To diagnose the cause of chest pain and other cardiovascular symptoms

A resting ECG is used to check your heart’s electrical activity and rhythm. The test is conducted while you are lying down. Sticky sensors are attached to your skin in set positions that help detect signals produced by your heart beating.

Why would I have a resting ECG?

There are several reasons you might have a resting ECG. The most common is if a doctor is concerned that you might have something wrong with your heart, for example, if you are experiencing specific heart-related symptoms. It can also be used routinely before having surgery to exclude any heart issues or for visa and employment medical purposes.
