Heart Disease – All Treatments

When is an ECG used?

An ECG is used to record the heart’s electrical activity and can help the doctor assess the heart rhythm and heart rate. The test can also help identify or rule out certain disorders of the heart’s electrical conduction system and provide information about signs of past or current conditions affecting the heart.

How an ECG Is Performed

During the test, small self-adhesive electrodes are placed on the chest, as well as on the arms and legs. The electrodes record the heart’s electrical activity, which is displayed as a waveform. The recording itself takes only a few minutes, and the test is painless and does not involve any electrical stimulation of the body.

Back surgery at Capio

I had lower back surgery at Capio Hellerup over a year ago. I have been incredibly happy with the treatment I received during my hospitalization by both doctors and nurses and the follow-ups they gave me. Huge praise from here.

Hip replacement surgery

I had surgery on Wednesday, December 13th at Capio Aalborg and despite the circumstances, I had a good stay where I got answers to all my questions. I met a staff with great competence and empathy, so I can only give my best recommendations.
Thank you very much for everything.

Thanks to Capio

Thank you to Capio for super good and very competent treatment. They made me feel safe, super skilled at explaining themselves so I could also understand it. A doctor I will never forget, sweet, smiling and with a great sense of humor just to my taste 🤩🥰

Incredibly friendly staff

Incredibly friendly staff. Quickly got an appointment for an examination and then an appointment for surgery. Definitely recommend Capio Odense to others who want to make use of their health insurance. Definitely 5 stars from here.
