Understanding EKG (Electrocardiogram) at PrimeCare Urgent Care
An Electrocardiogram, commonly known as an EKG or ECG, is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. At PrimeCare Urgent Care, we offer EKG services to help evaluate heart health and detect potential abnormalities, providing valuable insights for our patients’ cardiovascular care.
Purpose and Benefits
An EKG records the electrical impulses generated by the heart as it beats. This test is useful for diagnosing various heart conditions, including:
Procedure
During an EKG, small electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes detect the electrical signals produced by the heart and transmit them to a machine that records the information on graph paper or digitally. The test is painless and typically takes only a few minutes to complete.
Interpretation and Evaluation
After the EKG is performed, the results are reviewed by our healthcare providers at PrimeCare Urgent Care. They interpret the findings to assess the heart’s overall electrical activity and identify any abnormalities that may require further evaluation or treatment.
When EKGs are Recommended
EKGs may be recommended for various reasons, including:
