If you’re experiencing chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats, your provider may recommend an electrocardiogram (EKG) to evaluate your heart’s electrical activity. At Advanced Health Associates, our experienced team offers quick, noninvasive EKG testing to help diagnose heart conditions early and guide effective treatment. Call today or request an appointment online to learn more about in-office EKG testing.
An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a simple, painless test that records the electrical signals your heart produces as it beats. These electrical patterns help your provider detect irregularities such as arrhythmias, heart enlargement, blocked arteries, and other heart-related concerns.
The test takes only a few minutes and provides instant results that help your provider quickly assess your heart health.
Your provider may recommend an EKG if you experience symptoms that could signal a heart problem, such as:
Chest pain or pressure
Palpitations or irregular heartbeat
Shortness of breath
Fatigue or dizziness
Fainting or near fainting
High blood pressure
History of heart disease
An EKG may also be performed before surgeries, during routine physical exams, or when monitoring ongoing heart conditions.
During the test:
You lie comfortably on an exam table.
Several small electrodes are placed on your chest, arms, and legs.
Wires connect the electrodes to the EKG machine, which tracks your heart’s electrical activity.
The test records your heart rhythm for a few seconds and produces a printed or digital tracing for your provider to review.
The procedure is painless, quick, and completely safe, with no recovery time needed.
An EKG provides valuable information about your heart’s function. It can help identify:
Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
Prior or current heart attacks
Poor blood flow to the heart
Heart muscle enlargement
Electrolyte imbalances
Abnormalities in the heart’s electrical pathways
Results are available immediately, allowing your provider to determine the next steps in your care.
Once your provider reviews the results, they may recommend:
Lifestyle changes
Medication adjustments
Further testing such as a Holter monitor, stress test, or echocardiogram
Referral to a cardiology specialist if needed
Your care plan will be personalized based on your symptoms and overall heart health.
At Advanced Health Associates, we provide reliable EKG testing and comprehensive heart care to ensure you receive accurate answers and timely treatment. Call the office today or request an appointment online to schedule your EKG.
