An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a simple, painless test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It helps detect heart conditions such as arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, or heart attacks. ECGs are a vital tool in monitoring heart health, especially for patients with a history of heart disease, chest pain, or irregular heartbeats. Patients should choose an ECG when advised by their doctor to assess heart rhythm or investigate symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or chest discomfort.

• Chest pain or discomfort

 

• Irregular heartbeats or palpitations

 

• Shortness of breath or fatigue
