We can perform your EKG right in your exam room either during your annual wellness visit or as needed. An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the electrical signal from your heart to check for different heart conditions.

EKGs are quick, safe, and painless. With this test we can:

• Check the rhythm of your heart
• See if you have poor blood flow to your heart muscle
• Diagnose a heart attack or previous heart attack
• Check for abnormal findings such as a thickened heart muscle
• Detect if electrolyte abnormalities are present such as high potassium or high or low calcium

24-hour Holter monitor:

This device is used to place leads and record for a 24 hour period.

This service is available if you feel palpations or a sensation that the heart is racing, pounding, fluttering, or skipping a beat. Our helpful staff will help guide you how to use this device in the privacy of your home and throughout your day to record any of these events. We will then download the recordings and interpret the data.
