Our office, located in the heart of Chicago, IL, is committed to providing premier care and resources to guide on your journey to optimum health.

An Introduction to the Electrocardiogram (EKG)

Often referred to as an EKG or ECG, an Electrocardiogram is a non-invasive test that interprets the electrical activity of the heart. By providing a visual display of your heart's rhythm, an EKG can assist in the identification of heart conditions such as abnormal heart rhythms or arrhythmias, coronary heart disease, and heart attacks.

Why Should I Get an EKG?

An EKG is beneficial for everyone, irrespective of age or current health condition. It is especially beneficial for people who have chronic conditions, are experiencing symptoms of heart disease, or have a family history of heart disease. It is a simple, quick, and non-invasive way to potentially detect a life-threatening condition early.
