Electrocardiogram

An electrocardiogram (also called an ECG or EKG), is a test that records the heart rhythm (the electrical activity of the heart). This is a painless test that requires stickers to be placed on the chest, arms and legs while lying relatively still for approximately 10 seconds. This study can help to diagnose many heart rhythm problems.
