The three most common conditions diagnosed with an EKG are: Arrhythmia: An irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, can be detected with an EKG. It can show whether the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly. Heart attack: An EKG accurately identifies heart attacks by illustrating changes in the heart's electrical activity. This is very crucial as early detection leads to prompt treatment and prevents further damage to the heart. Heart abnormalities: EKGs are used for the diagnosis of heart abnormalities by recording changes in the heart's size and function. This tool is used to determine whether the heart is enlarged or weakened. If you're experiencing any symptoms of heart problems, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations, it's important to seek medical attention promptly. An EKG is a quick, non-invasive test that can be done at an urgent care center near you to provide valuable information about your heart health.
