A resting electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a painless examination that monitors the electrical patterns of your heart. During this test, you will be asked to sit quietly while electrodes are placed to your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes transmit the electrical signals from your heart to a machine that generates a graph of your heart beat.

A resting electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as an EKG, is a non-invasive procedure that records the electrical activity of the heart. Expert cardiologists carefully evaluate the ECG waveform to recognize any abnormalities in heart rhythm or function. The resulting ECG tracing provides valuable information about the heart's health.
