Electrocardiogram An electrocardiogram — also called ECG or EKG — is often done in a health care provider's office, a clinic or a hospital room. ECG machines are standard equipment in operating rooms and ambulances. Some personal devices, such as smartwatches, offer ECG monitoring. Ask your health care provider if this is an option for you.
Why it's done An electrocardiogram is a painless, noninvasive way to help diagnose many common heart problems. A health care provider might use an electrocardiogram to determine or detect: a. Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) b. If blocked or narrowed arteries in the heart (coronary artery disease) are causing chest pain or a heart attack c. Whether you have had a previous heart attack d. How well certain heart disease treatments, such as a pacemaker, are working.
What happens during an ECG test? An ECG test may be done in a provider's office, outpatient clinic, or a hospital. During the procedure: a. You will lie on an exam table. b. A health care provider will place several electrodes (small sensors that stick to the skin) on your arms, legs, and chest. The provider may need to shave or trim excess hair before placing the electrodes. c. The electrodes are attached by wires to a computer that records your heart's electrical activity. d. The activity will be displayed on the computer's monitor and/or printed out on paper. e. The procedure only takes about three minutes.
