An EKG (electrocardiogram) is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It is used to detect any heart problems, such as heart attacks, irregular heartbeats, or heart failure. An EKG may be ordered by a doctor as part of a routine physical, or if a patient complains of chest pain, an irregular heartbeat, or other symptoms. The test involves placing electrodes on the patient's chest, arms, and legs, and recording the electrical activity of the heart. The results of the test can be displayed on a piece of paper or on a screen and will be reviewed by a doctor.
