12 Lead testing
This test takes around 15 mins and is done while you are at the clinic. ECG pads are attached to your chest, arms and legs and the recording taken. The pads are removed before you leave the clinic. A report is then sent to your GP or referrer. To perform an ECG, we will need access to your arms, legs and bare chest so please bear this in mind when preparing for the test.
Your results will be analysed by a qualified ECG analyser and will be sent to your nominated GP in 3 working days. The results include a written report and graphics of your heart rate over a certain period.
