Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)

Irregular electrical activity of the heart found during routine tests.

What is Abnormal Electrocardiogram?

Did your ECG show unusual results? This test can detect heart rhythm, size, or blood flow issues.

An abnormal ECG shows changes in the heart’s electrical activity, which can signal arrhythmias, prior heart damage, or structural issues. While not always serious, it often requires further cardiology evaluation.

Common Symptoms

Irregular heartbeats or palpitations
Shortness of breath or chest pain
Fatigue or dizziness
No symptoms at all (incidental finding)
