Veterinary ECG & Heart Monitoring

Our veterinary ECG service records your pet's heart rhythm to help assess cardiac function and identify abnormal heart rhythms. ECG can support the evaluation of pets with heart-related symptoms and help veterinarians make informed diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of your pet's heart. It provides valuable information about heart rate and rhythm and can help identify certain cardiac abnormalities.

An ECG may be recommended when a pet shows signs such as weakness, fainting, exercise intolerance, breathing difficulties or an irregular heartbeat. It may also be useful as part of a broader cardiac assessment or before certain procedures when clinically appropriate.

Our veterinary team evaluates ECG findings together with your pet's clinical examination and medical history to support an appropriate diagnosis and care plan.
