EMBRACING EKGs: Your Secret Health Guardian at Harper Health, Chicago

Is there a secret guardian looking out for your heart health? The answer is YES, and it resides right here at Harper Health Concierge Primary Care.

Understanding EKG

Electrocardiogram or EKG is a diagnostic tool that monitors your heart's health by detecting the electrical activity your heart produces each time it beats. It's a simple, non-invasive, & safe procedure typically done right in Dr. Harper's office.

Why EKG?

EKG holds an invaluable place within the medical toolkit. Not only can it detect problems with your heart's rhythm and structure, but it can also unveil issues with blood supply to the muscle cells of your heart. It's a catalyst for early detection and management of many heart conditions, from the trivial to the severe.

When Should You Get an EKG?

At Harper Health, we believe in preventive care. Hence, we recommend routine physical exams, including EKGs, especially if you're over the age of 40 or have a family history of heart disease. Typical symptoms that may prompt an EKG include heart palpitations, weakness, tiredness, shortness of breath, or chest pain.
