An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a simple, painless test that records the electrical activity of the heart. By placing small sensors on your skin, an ECG can detect your heart’s rhythm and rate. It is a vital tool for quickly diagnosing various heart conditions, including irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), blocked arteries, and previous heart attacks.
