What is an EKG Test For?

An EKG, or electrocardiogram, is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical activity of your heart. It records the timing and strength of electrical signals as they travel through your heart, providing valuable information about your heart rhythm and function.

What Can an EKG Determine?

An EKG can help determine various aspects of your heart health, including:

1. Heart Rhythm: An EKG can detect irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, or tachycardia, which may increase your risk of heart complications.

2. Heart Rate: By measuring the intervals between heartbeats, an EKG can determine your heart rate, helping to identify abnormalities such as a fast or slow heartbeat.

3. Heart Structure: While an EKG primarily evaluates heart rhythm and rate, certain patterns on the EKG may indicate underlying structural abnormalities, such as enlarged chambers or signs of a previous heart attack.

When Should You Have an EKG?

You may benefit from an EKG if you experience symptoms such as:

• Chest pain or discomfort

• Shortness of breath

• Palpitations or irregular heartbeats

• Dizziness or fainting spells

• Fatigue or weakness

• Known risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart conditions

Additionally, if you have existing heart disease or are at risk for heart-related complications, regular EKG monitoring may be recommended to assess your heart health over time.
