An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart to identify heart rhythm issues, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.

No special preparation is usually required. You may be asked to remove any metal objects or wear a hospital gown for ease of access to the chest area.

You can eat and drink normally before the test. However, avoid consuming large amounts of caffeine or alcohol as they might affect the results.

ECGs are very safe and non-invasive. There are no known risks or side effects associated with the test.

In most cases, you can continue taking your medications as prescribed. However, inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking.

Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites.

They can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person, animal, insect bites, or contaminated food and water.

Symptoms vary but often include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, cough, and digestive issues.

Diagnosis involves physical examinations, medical history review, and diagnostic tests such as blood tests, cultures, and imaging.

Treatments may include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, antiparasitics, and supportive care depending on the type of infection.
