The Club has raised funds to purchase an ECG machine for Barnsley Hospice


An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a test that records the electrical activity of your heart, including the rate and rhythm. It's usually quick and painless.

Why an ECG (electrocardiogram) is done

You'll usually have an ECG (electrocardiogram) if a doctor or healthcare professional thinks you're having symptoms of:

  • a heart attack
  • coronary heart disease
  • problems with how quickly or regularly your heart beats (arrhythmia)

You also may have an ECG:

  • if you've been diagnosed with a heart condition or another condition that affects how well your heart works
