Is my heart OK if the ECG is normal?

FAQ

A normal electrocardiogram (ECG) is a good indication that your heart is functioning properly at the time the test was performed. However, it is important to note that an ECG is just one diagnostic tool and it cannot detect all heart problems. Some heart conditions may not produce any significant ECG abnormalities at the time of the test, or may only be detected with more specialized testing.

Therefore, if you are experiencing any symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting or palpitations, it is important to discuss them with your healthcare provider, even if your ECG appears to be normal. Additionally, if you have a family history of heart disease, your healthcare provider may recommend further testing or monitoring, even if your ECG is normal.
