ECG

ECG (Electro Cardiogram) is not simply some waving lines on a graph paper. This simple yet valuable screening and diagnostic tool is among the most basic and high yielding test in Cardiology and can save many lives. It denotes the electrical activity of the heart which in turn depends on the blood supply and the autonomic system. Diabetic patients have more chances to getting a heart attack due to deranged Blood sugar levels, High Cholesterol , Hypertension, High blood coagulability and other variables. In Diabetes Mellitus, patients may have silent Ischemia (Silent heart attack). This means that they may not address any pain of heart attack and hence the episode goes unnoticed. A random ECG may detect such type of event. The variation of ECG finding with deep breathing may be altered in Diabetes Mellitus and this may denote the “Autonomic Dysfunction” of the patient. An “ECG” done during a routine annual checkup can pick up treatable (though life threatening) underlying Heart Conditions. A timely taken and rightly interpreted ECG can identify Heart Attack (AMI) at the most precious time and save life.
