# ECG Examination

An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart. The examination helps detect cardiac arrhythmias, circulation problems or other changes in heart function early. The heart constantly sends out electrical signals. Actually quite impressive for an organ that is simultaneously trying to cope with lack of sleep, stress and three espressos.

This allows us to assess:

During the examination, heart rate, blood pressure and ECG are monitored continuously.

-   how your heart works under load
