Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do for an EKG?
Most of the time you do not need to go through any special preparations for EKG. On the contrary, we recommend you wear comfortable clothes that allow for easy opening of your chest area. Please do not use lotions or oils on your skin beforehand as they make it difficult for the electrodes to adhere to the skin properly.
Which diseases can an EKG detect?
An EKG detects multiple heart conditions, such as arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and various structural abnormalities. This enables doctors to arrive at a decision about the overall health of your heart and pinpoint the need for any additional treatment.
