Private ECG Testing in Birmingham

What Is an ECG (Electrocardiogram)?

An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a safe, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It provides valuable information about your heart rhythm and function, helping to detect irregularities such as arrhythmias, palpitations, and signs of cardiac disease.

At Wylie Health, we offer private ECG testing in a calm and comfortable environment, with expert interpretation by medical professionals and swift follow-up care if needed.

Why Might I Need an ECG?

An ECG may be recommended if you are experiencing symptoms such as:

• Chest pain or discomfort

• Shortness of breath

• Palpitations or irregular heartbeat

• Dizziness or fainting

• High blood pressure

• A family history of heart conditions

It’s also commonly used as a preventive screening for those with risk factors like diabetes, high cholesterol, or lifestyle-related stress.

What to Expect During Your ECG Appointment

Your ECG test will be carried out by trained professionals in a private, relaxed clinical setting. Here’s what happens:

• Brief consultation to discuss your symptoms and medical history

• Electrodes placed on your chest, arms, and legs (you may be asked to remove upper clothing)

• Recording begins – the ECG machine reads your heart’s electrical signals (takes just a few minutes)

• Results reviewed by a GP or referred cardiologist

• Explanation and follow-up offered if anything abnormal is detected

The test is painless, non-invasive, and typically takes under 15 minutes.
