Understanding Your ECG Report: A Beginner’s Guide

If your doctor has recommended an ECG (electrocardiogram), don’t worry��it’s one of the most common and painless diagnostic tests in modern medicine.

But once the results come in, many patients find themselves staring at a series of squiggly lines and wondering, What does this even mean?

An ECG records the electrical activity of your heart over time. It helps detect arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), signs of a previous heart attack, or conditions like enlarged heart chambers. A typical ECG report includes:

Heart Rate—Tells how fast or slow your heart is beating Rhythm—Checks if your heartbeats follow a regular pattern P Wave, QRS Complex, T Wave—Represent different parts of a heartbeat cycle ST Segment & QT Interval—Help identify stress on the heart or potential risks
