An electrocardiogram, commonly known as an ECG or EKG is a common medical test used to determine the problems with the electrical activity of your heart. An ECG or EKG records how your heart is functioning by measuring its electrical activity through the placement of small sensors on the chest, arms, and lower legs. It can help to show abnormal movements or working of the heart.
EKG’s are safe, painless, and non-invasive, with almost no side effects. Results are obtained quickly and interpreted easily by individuals with appropriate medical training.
What to Expect During the ECG?
A standard ECG takes only a few minutes. You have to lie on an examination table. Various electrodes, often 12 to 15, will be attached to your arms, legs, and chest. These electrodes are sticky patches applied with a gel, and this gel helps to detect and conduct the electrical currents of your heart. Lead wires will connect to the electrodes, and the ECG machine will start. The actual process of data collection takes no more than a few seconds.
