An Electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as an EKG, is a quick, painless, and non-invasive diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of your heart. Small sensors placed on the chest, arms, and legs capture the heart’s electrical signals, allowing specialists to evaluate heart rhythm, rate, and overall cardiac function within minutes.

This essential cardiac screening tool is widely used to detect irregular heart rhythms, signs of reduced blood flow, previous heart damage, and other heart-related abnormalities. ECG testing helps doctors diagnose cardiac conditions promptly, monitor ongoing treatments, and assess overall cardiovascular health with speed and accuracy.
