What Is an EKG?

An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) records the electrical signals produced by your heart. The test helps your primary care provider identify abnormal heart rhythms and determine whether additional evaluation or treatment may be needed.

Why Might You Need an EKG?

Chest Pain

An EKG may be performed when evaluating certain causes of chest discomfort. Emergency symptoms require immediate emergency care.

Irregular Heartbeat

Palpitations, skipped beats, or a racing heartbeat may warrant an EKG evaluation.

Dizziness or Fainting

An EKG may help determine whether heart rhythm abnormalities could be contributing to symptoms.

High Blood Pressure

Patients with hypertension may require an EKG as part of their cardiovascular evaluation.

Pre-Operative Evaluation

An EKG may be recommended before certain surgeries when medically appropriate.

Routine Monitoring

Patients with known cardiovascular conditions may require periodic EKG testing during follow-up visits.

What Happens During the Test?

When Should You Seek Emergency Care?

An EKG performed in a primary care office is not a substitute for emergency medical care. If you have severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness, loss of consciousness, or symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
