About ECG / EKG (Electrocardiogram)
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the electrical activity of the heart through electrodes placed on the chest. It detects irregular heart rhythms, heart attacks, enlarged heart chambers, and other cardiac conditions.
What to Expect
Small sticky patches (electrodes) are placed on your chest, arms, and legs. You lie still for 5–10 minutes while the machine records your heart's electrical activity. The test is painless and non-invasive.
