Electrocardiogram

Your doctor may suggest you get an electrocardiogram -- also called an EKG or ECG -- to check for signs of heart disease.

It's a test that records the electrical activity of your ticker through small electrode patches that a technician attaches to the skin of your chest, arms, and legs.

EKGs are quick, safe, and painless. With this test, your doctor will be able to:

Check your heart rhythm
See if you have poor blood flow to your heart muscle (this is called ischemia)
Diagnose a heart attack
Check on things that are abnormal, such as thickened heart muscle
Detect if there are significant electrolyte abnormalities, such as high potassium or high or low calcium.
How Should I Prepare?

Some things you can do to get yourself ready:

Avoid oily or greasy skin creams and lotions the day of the test because they can keep the electrodes from making contact with your skin.
Avoid full-length hosiery, because electrodes need to be placed directly on your legs.
Wear a shirt that you can remove easily to place the leads on your chest.
