EKG Diagnostic Test

An EKG is a diagnostic test that is used to evaluate your heart rate, rhythm, and may even be used to diagnose a heart attack. EKG's are commonly ordered if you are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat or if monitoring chronic heart conditions. It is also common for a physician to order an EKG prior to surgery. An EKG takes about 5 minutes to perform. After we apply 10 electrodes (small adhesive patches) we connect a wire to each electrode. Once we obtain a good result, we remove the wires and electrodes. We ask that you do no use any lotion or powder on your skin prior to your test and avoid wearing hose.
