Advance of Electrocardiogram
An electrocardiogram is a simple, painless test that measures your heart’s electrical activity. It’s also known as an ECG or EKG. Every heartbeat is triggered by an electrical signal that starts at the top of your heart and travels to the bottom. Heart problems often affect the electrical activity of your heart. Your doctor may recommend an EKG if you’re experiencing symptoms or signs that may suggest a heart problem.
An EKG will help your doctor determine the cause of your symptoms along with what type of treatment might be necessary.If you’re 50 or older or if you have a family history of heart disease, your doctor may also order an EKG to look for early signs of heart disease.
There are few, if any, risks related to an EKG. Some people may experience a skin rash where electrodes were placed, but this usually goes away without treatment.People undergoing a stress test may be at risk for heart attack, but this is related to the exercise, not the EKG.An EKG simply monitors the electrical activity of your heart. It doesn’t emit any electricity and is completely safe.
