Frequently Asked
ECG — your questions answered
Is an ECG painful?
No — completely painless. Sticky sensors are placed on your chest, arms and legs for about 30 seconds.
Will I get the result the same day?
Yes — your GP interprets it on the spot and explains it to you.
Is it bulk billed?
Yes when medically indicated (chest pain, palpitations, etc.). Driving and pre-employment ECGs may attract a private fee.
What's the difference between an ECG and a Holter monitor?
An ECG is a 30-second snapshot of your heart's electrical activity. A Holter monitor wears for 24 hours to catch intermittent rhythm issues. We refer out for Holter testing.
