What Is an EKG (Electrocardiogram)?
An EKG is a painless and non-invasive test that measures your heart's electrical activity to detect irregular rhythms or other cardiac concerns. The procedure takes about 5 minutes, requires no special preparation, and is reviewed on the same day by Dr. Patel to ensure accurate and immediate insights.
When Is an EKG Recommended?
EKG testing can help detect heart issues and guide care for:
Chest Pain or Pressure
Palpitations or Irregular Heartbeat
Dizziness or Fainting
Shortness of Breath
Routine Heart Monitoring
Pre-Operative Evaluations
We also recommend EKGs for preventive screenings and ongoing cardiac health assessments.
