Understanding EKG (Electrocardiogram)

An EKG measures the electrical impulses generated by the heart as it beats. These impulses are recorded as waves on graph paper or displayed on a screen. The test helps evaluate various aspects of hexeart function, including:

• Heart Rate: Determines the number of heartbeats per minute (bpm).
• Rhythm: Checks for irregularities in the heart's electrical activity.
• Conduction Delays: Identifies delays or blockages in the electrical pathways of the heart.
• Heart Muscle Thickness: Assesses the size and thickness of the heart chambers.
• Effects of Medications: Monitors the impact of medications on heart function.

Benefits of EKG (Electrocardiogram) Services

Early Detection of Heart Conditions

EKGs are instrumental in detecting a wide range of heart conditions, including:

• Arrhythmias: Irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation (AFib).
• Heart Attacks (Myocardial Infarctions): Identifies changes indicative of recent or ongoing heart muscle damage.
• Heart Valve Problems: Evaluates the function and efficiency of heart valves.
• Cardiomyopathy: Detects abnormalities in heart muscle structure and function.

Diagnostic Tool for Symptoms

If you experience symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fatigue, an EKG can help identify potential heart-related causes and guide further diagnostic testing and treatment.

Monitoring Chronic Conditions

Patients with chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or previous heart disease benefit from regular EKGs to monitor heart function and assess treatment effectiveness.
