The process of conducting an ECG at home
- Arrival of the specialist and preparation of the equipment: The ECG specialist arrives at the home with portable equipment to record an electrocardiogram. He installs the equipment in a prepared place.
- Discussing the procedure with the patient: Before the procedure begins, the specialist clarifies the patient's medical history and discusses the details of the ECG.
- ECG: The patient is usually advised to lie on their back. The specialist attaches electrodes to the skin of the patient's chest, arms, and legs. The electrodes are connected to an ECG machine that records the heart's electrical activity.
- Duration of the procedure: The ECG recording usually takes only a few minutes. However, the total time of the visit, including preparation and discussion, can be around 30 minutes.
Importantly! The quality and accuracy of the ECG largely depend on the qualification of the specialist and the modernity of the equipment used. EasyMed cooperates only with experienced specialists and ensures the use of high-quality medical equipment for ECG at home, guaranteeing reliable and accurate results.
Diagnostic capabilities of ECG at home
- Detection of arrhythmias: An ECG can detect different heart rhythm disorders, such as atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, or bradycardia.
- Evaluation of coronary artery disease: An ECG can detect insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle, which is key in diagnosing angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.
- Diagnosis of pericarditis and myocarditis: Changes in the ECG may indicate inflammatory processes in the heart, including pericarditis and myocarditis.
- Assessment of structural changes in the heart: An ECG can help detect left or right ventricular hypertrophy and other structural changes in the heart.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of treatment: An ECG at home can be used to monitor the effectiveness of cardiac medications or recovery from cardiac surgery.
Importantly! An ECG at home provides a high diagnostic accuracy similar to an inpatient examination and allows patients to undergo the procedure in the comfort of their homes. This is especially important for patients with limited mobility or those who need regular monitoring of cardiac function.

- Presence of skin diseases or lesions: For example, severe forms of eczema, psoriasis, or open wounds in the chest area that can interfere with the attachment of electrodes.
- Acute infectious diseases: ECG in patients with acute infections may pose a health risk to the patient and the medical staff.
