What Is an EKG?
An EKG measures the heart’s electrical impulses, providing a visual representation of its rhythm and activity. This test is quick, painless, and typically takes only a few minutes to complete. During the procedure, electrodes are placed on the patient’s chest and limbs to detect electrical signals produced by the heart. These signals are then displayed as waves on a monitor or printed on paper for analysis.
When Should You Consider an EKG?
An EKG is recommended if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or palpitations. It’s also advisable for individuals with a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or other risk factors. Regular EKGs can help monitor heart health and detect potential issues early.
Benefits of EKG Testing
- Early Detection: Identifies heart problems before they become severe.
- Non-Invasive: Requires no surgery or insertion of instruments.
- Quick Results: Provides immediate information about heart health.
