About this test

An ECG records the rhythm, rate and electrical activity of your heart. It is a marker commonly used to help assess conditions such as arrhythmias and coronary heart disease, particularly for people with risk factors like smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease.

With a single measurement, it sits toward the lower end for clinical depth among the heart health tests we track, since it captures one type of reading rather than a panel of biomarkers. Its price of £120 sits close to the £125 median for similarly sized heart health tests, so it scores around the middle for value.

It scores well for results and follow-up, since it includes a doctor discussion of the results and next steps, unlike most other Randox tests in our data. The listing does not state the exact sample or appointment format, which is why clarity and documentation, while still strong, is marked slightly lower than for some other Randox listings.

Who is it for?

This suits people with heart health risk factors, such as smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease, who want a baseline reading with a doctor's input. We do not have named peer tests in our data to say whether a cheaper alternative measuring the same thing exists. If you have chest pain or other acute symptoms, seek urgent medical attention rather than booking this test.

How it works

This is an in-clinic appointment at a Randox clinic. The provider states results are available within 48 hours of the sample or reading reaching the lab, and includes a follow-up GP discussion to review the results and next steps.
