An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) test is a vital tool in assessing heart health and plays a significant role in guiding our doctors in delivering effective care. By detecting various conditions such as arrhythmias, coronary artery disease (CAD), and heart enlargement, the EKG provides essential insights into a patient’s cardiovascular status.
