What Does EKG Stand For?
EKG stands for Electrocardiogram Record
EKG, or Electrocardiogram Record, is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time. It provides vital information about heart rhythm, size, and function, helping healthcare professionals to identify various cardiac conditions. By recording electrical impulses via electrodes placed on the skin, an EKG can detect abnormalities that may indicate heart disease, arrhythmias, or other cardiovascular issues. This non-invasive procedure is crucial for both immediate evaluations and ongoing heart health monitoring.
