EKG: Heart Health Starts Here
An EKG is a test that measures the electrical impulses that control the rhythm and speed of your heart. It’s often used to detect irregular heart rhythms, such as arrhythmias, and assess past heart damage like that caused by a heart attack. The test is performed by placing electrodes on your skin that record your heart's electrical activity. This can help determine if the heart is functioning properly, monitor the effectiveness of heart medications, and identify potential issues such as an enlarged heart. Regular EKGs can aid in the early detection of heart conditions before symptoms become severe.
