An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a quick, simple, and painless test that records the electrical activity of your heart. Every beat of your heart is triggered by an electrical impulse normally generated from special cells in the upper right chamber of your heart. An ECG translates the heart's electrical activity into line tracings on paper or a screen, allowing our specialists to analyze your heart rhythm and health.

Why it is done:

• Diagnose unexplained chest pain or pressure
• Identify heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) like tachycardia or bradycardia
• Detect signs of a current or previous heart attack
• Check the health of the heart when other diseases are present (hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes)

What to expect:

During the test, small sticky sensors called electrodes are attached to your chest, arms, and legs. You will lie flat and still while the machine records your heart's electrical activity. The entire procedure takes only about 5 to 10 minutes and has no risks or discomfort.
