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)
  • History of fainting

When to see a Cardiologist

  • ECG shows unexplained abnormalities
  • Symptoms align with potential heart issues
  • Family history of heart disease
  • High blood pressure or known arrhythmias

Early detection is important for managing the condition and preventing further complications. Schedule a consultation today.
