Electrocardiogram
An electrocardiogram — also 
called ECG or EKG — is often done in a health 
care provider's office, a clinic or a hospital 
room.
ECG machines are standard equipment in 
operating rooms and ambulances. Some 
personal devices, such as smartwatches, 
offer ECG monitoring. Ask your health care 
provider if this is an option for you.
Electrocardiogram
Why it's done
An electrocardiogram is a painless, noninvasive way to 
help diagnose many common heart problems. A health 
care provider might use an electrocardiogram to 
determine or detect:
a. Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
b. If blocked or narrowed arteries in the heart (coronary 
artery disease) are causing chest pain or a heart attack
c. Whether you have had a previous heart attack
d. How well certain heart disease treatments, such as a 
pacemaker, are working.
What happens during an ECG test?
An ECG test may be done in a provider's office, outpatient 
clinic, or a hospital. During the procedure:
a. You will lie on an exam table.
b. A health care provider will place several electrodes (small 
sensors that stick to the skin) on your arms, legs, and chest. 
The provider may need to shave or trim excess hair before 
placing the electrodes.
c. The electrodes are attached by wires to a computer that 
records your heart's electrical activity.
d. The activity will be displayed on the computer's monitor 
and/or printed out on paper.
e. The procedure only takes about three minutes.
