Electrocardiogram (ECG) Testing in Arlington Heights
What Is an Electrocardiogram?
An ECG test (also called EKG) is a quick, non-surgical diagnostic procedure that tracks the electrical signals controlling your heartbeat. These signals are displayed as wave patterns that medical professionals interpret to assess rhythm consistency, structural stress, circulation issues, and other possible abnormalities.
Small sensors are placed on specific body areas to capture electrical impulses produced during each cardiac cycle. The process is comfortable, safe, and requires no recovery time.
What Happens During the Procedure?
- Attaching adhesive electrodes to the chest, arms, and legs
- Connecting leads to a recording device
