ECG (electrocardiogram) heart ki electrical activity record karta hai. Isse dhadkan ki speed, rhythm regular hai ya nahi, heart block, chal raha ya purana heart attack, heart ko khoon ki kami ke sign, dil ki deewar mota hona (LVH), aur potassium jaise salts ki gadbad ka pata chalta hai. Yeh 5 minute ka, bina dard ka test hai, lekin aaram ke ECG mein har blockage nahi dikhta.
Short mein samjhein
- ECG heart ki bijli (electrical signal) ki recording hai — sui ya current nahi lagta.
- Dhadkan ki speed, rhythm, heart block aur heart attack ke sign dikhata hai.
- Purana heart attack, LVH aur salts ki gadbad bhi ECG mein dikh sakti hai.
- Aaram ka ECG normal hone par bhi blockage ho sakta hai — yeh ECG ki seema hai.
- Koi taiyaari nahi chahiye; purane ECG saath le jaayein taaki comparison ho sake.
ECG kya hota hai?
Hamara heart ek pump hai jo apni khud ki "bijli" se chalta hai. Har dhadkan se pehle heart ke upari hisse mein ek chhota electrical signal banta hai, jo ek tay raaste se poore heart mein phailta hai aur maspeshi ko sikodta hai. ECG (electrocardiogram ya EKG) is electrical signal ko shareer ki twacha se record karta hai aur kaagaz ya screen par lehron (waves) ke roop mein dikhata hai.
ECG mein shareer mein koi current nahi daala jaata — machine sirf aapke heart ki bijli ko "sunti" hai. Isliye yeh poori tarah surakshit hai, pregnancy mein bhi aur bachchon mein bhi.
Aasan bhasha mein: agar heart ek ghar hai, to ECG uski electric wiring ki jaanch hai. Isse pata chalta hai ki switch (dhadkan ka source) theek hai, taar (conduction) mein kahin rukawat to nahi, aur kisi kamre (heart ke hisse) mein current kam to nahi pahunch raha.
ECG test kaise hota hai?
- Aapko seedha letna hota hai; seene, kalai aur takhne se kapda thoda hataya jaata hai.
- 10 chipakne wale sticker ya clip (electrodes) lagaye jaate hain — 6 seene par, 4 haath-pair par. Zyada baal hon to thoda saaf karna pad sakta hai.
- Aapko bilkul shaant letna, normal saans lena aur baat nahi karni hoti.
- Machine 10 second mein 12 alag "angle" (leads) se heart ki recording le leti hai.
- Stickers hata diye jaate hain. Report turant mil jaati hai.

ECG mein kya-kya check hota hai?
| Kya check hota hai | Isse kya pata chalta hai |
|---|---|
| Heart rate | Dhadkan bahut tez (100+) ya bahut dheemi (50 se kam) to nahi |
| Rhythm | Normal (sinus) rhythm hai ya atrial fibrillation, SVT, extra beats jaisi gadbad |
| Conduction | Heart block, bundle branch block (LBBB/RBBB) — signal ka raasta kahin ruk to nahi raha |
| Heart attack (chal raha) | ST segment ka uthna ya girna — emergency faisle ke liye sabse zaroori |
| Purana heart attack | Q waves — dil ke kisi hisse mein purana nuksaan |
| Khoon ki kami (ischemia) | T wave ya ST mein badlav |
| Heart ka size / deewar | LVH (moti deewar) ka andaza, jo aksar purane BP se hota hai |
| Salts aur dawaiyan | Potassium ki kami-zyaadati, kuch dawaiyon ka asar (QT interval) |
| Doosri cheezein | Pericarditis, WPW jaisi extra wiring, phephdon par load ke sign |
ECG ki lehrein — P, QRS aur T ka aasan matlab
ECG report par aap kuch lehrein dekhenge jinke naam letters se rakhe gaye hain:
- P wave — heart ke upari hisse (atria) ka sikudna. Yeh dikhata hai ki dhadkan sahi jagah se shuru hui.
- PR interval — signal ko upar se neeche pahunchne mein lagne wala samay. Lamba ho to heart block ka sign.
- QRS complex — neeche ke bade hisse (ventricles) ka sikudna, asli pumping. Chauda ho to bundle branch block.
- ST segment — heart attack pehchanne ka sabse zaroori hissa.
- T wave — heart ka dobara "recharge" hona. Ulti T wave kai kaaranon se ho sakti hai.
Agar aapki report mein "ST-T changes", "LBBB", "T inversion" jaise shabd likhe hain, to unka matlab yahan detail mein hai: ECG report abnormal hai — iska kya matlab hai.
ECG kya nahi bata sakta?
ECG bahut kaam ka hai, par iski seemayein samajhna zaroori hai taaki aap galat bharose mein na rahein:
- Har blockage nahi dikhta — aaram ke samay heart ko kaafi khoon mil raha ho to ECG normal aa sakta hai. Iske liye TMT, CT angiography ya angiography chahiye.
- Pumping (EF) nahi naapta — iske liye 2D Echo hota hai.
- Valve ki bimari nahi dikhata — yeh bhi Echo se.
- Kabhi-kabhi aane wali dhadkan ki gadbad miss ho sakti hai — iske liye Holter.
Isliye normal ECG ka matlab hamesha "heart bilkul theek" nahi hota. Padhein: normal ECG ke baad bhi heart problem ho sakti hai kya. ECG aur Echo dono kyun likhte hain, yeh fark yahan hai: ECG aur 2D Echo mein difference.
Doctor ECG kab karwate hain?
- Seene mein dard, jalan, bhaaripan — emergency mein pahunchte hi 10 minute ke andar.
- Saans phoolna, chakkar, behoshi, dhadkan tez ya aniyamit lagna.
- BP, diabetes, kidney ke mareezon ki saalana jaanch.
- Kisi bhi operation se pehle (pre-operative check-up).
- Heart ki dawaiyon ka asar dekhne ke liye, aur angioplasty ya pacemaker ke baad follow-up mein.

ECG se pehle kya taiyaari karein?
Koi khaas taiyaari nahi chahiye — khaana-peena normal, dawaiyan normal. Bas:
- Aise kapde pehnein jinme seena aasani se khul sake (shirt-kurta jo saamne se khule).
- Seene par body lotion ya tel na lagayein; stickers theek se chipakte nahi.
- Test se pehle 5 minute aaram se baithein, seedhi chadhkar seedhe test na karwayein.
- Saare purane ECG saath le jaayein — doctor ke liye naye aur purane badlav ka fark samajhna bahut zaroori hai.
- Pacemaker ho ya dhadkan ki koi dawai le rahe hon, to technician ko bataayein.
ECG report milne ke baad kya karein?
Machine report par apne aap kuch likhti hai — jaise "abnormal ECG" ya "borderline". Yeh computer ka andaza hota hai, jo kai baar zyada savdhaan hota hai. Ghabrayein nahi aur khud internet se nateeja na nikaalein. Report ko hamesha cardiologist ko dikhayein, jo aapke lakshan, umar aur purane ECG ke saath milakar sahi matlab batate hain. Agar report mein heart attack jaisa kuch likha ho aur aapko seene mein dard ho, to turant emergency mein jaayein — Prathmesh 24x7: +91 77778 65621.
Raipur mein ECG test — Prathmesh Cardiac Institute
Prathmesh Cardiac Institute (Prathmesh Hospital ki cardiac unit, NH-30, Amlidih Road, Deopuri, Raipur) mein ECG test OPD mein aur 24x7 cardiac emergency mein dono jagah hota hai. Report ko DM Cardiologist dekhte hain aur zaroorat ho to usi din 2D Echo, TMT ya Holter jaise aage ke test bhi ho jaate hain.
Ek cardiologist in Raipur se ECG ka saaf matlab samajhne ke liye OPD Somvaar–Shanivaar 10 AM – 6 PM aa sakte hain. Seene mein dard ho to emergency kabhi bhi. Google Maps par Prathmesh Cardiac Institute ki location dekhein.

Aksar poochhe jaane wale sawal (FAQ)
Nahi. ECG machine shareer mein koi current nahi daalti, sirf heart ki apni electrical activity record karti hai. Isme koi dard nahi hota. Bas stickers hataate waqt halka sa khinchav mehsoos ho sakta hai, khaaskar seene par baal hon to.
Aaram ka ECG aksar blockage nahi dikhata, jab tak heart attack na ho chuka ho ya chal raha ho, ya bahut zyada khoon ki kami na ho. Blockage ke liye TMT, stress echo, CT coronary angiography ya coronary angiography kiye jaate hain.
Haan, ECG ke liye khaali pet hone ki zaroorat nahi hai. Khaana, paani aur apni roz ki dawaiyan normal le sakte hain. Bas test se thik pehle bhaag-daud ya seedhi chadhkar na aayein, 5 minute aaram karke test karwayein.
Haan, ECG pregnancy mein poori tarah surakshit hai kyunki isme koi radiation ya current nahi hota. Pregnancy mein dhadkan tez hone, saans phoolne ya seene mein dard par doctor ECG karwa sakte hain.
Smartwatch ECG ek hi lead ki recording hai, jo mainly rhythm (jaise atrial fibrillation) pakadne mein madad karti hai. Hospital ka 12-lead ECG heart ko 12 angle se dekhta hai aur heart attack, block aur LVH jaise badlav bhi pakadta hai. Dono ka kaam alag hai.
Yeh jaankari sirf aam jaagrukta ke liye hai, yeh doctor ki salah ka vikalp nahi hai. Apni sthiti ke liye hamesha yogya cardiologist se salah lein. Emergency mein 108 ya +91 77778 65621 par turant call karein.
