Electrocardiogram (ECG) : Test that detects cardiac (heart) abnormalities by measuring the electrical activity generated by the heart as it contracts.
ECGs from healthy hearts have a characteristic shape. Any irregularity in the heart rhythm or damage to the heart muscle can change the electrical activity of the heart so that the shape of the ECG is changed.
ECG is recommended if a person is experiencing symptoms such as:
chest pain
shortness of breath
dizziness
fainting, or
fast or irregular heartbeats (palpitations).
