An instant electrical readout of your heart — painless, fast, and revealing.
Every heartbeat starts with an electrical impulse. An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) records that electrical activity through small sensors placed on your chest, arms, and legs — producing the familiar tracing that tells us how your heart is really beating. In minutes, an EKG can reveal irregular rhythms (arrhythmias), signs of a past or ongoing heart attack, an enlarged heart, and problems with the heart's electrical conduction. It is one of the fastest, most informative tests in cardiology — and we perform it right in our office, often at your very first visit.
Arrhythmias and silent heart damage often show up on an EKG before you feel anything. It is the essential first window into your heart's health.
