An Overview of the EKG
Cardiac Monitoring Services provides free heart monitoring services to doctors and medical facilities located in Irvine, California. They use Holter devices and event monitors to alert medical professionals and patients of any unusual heart rate or EKG activity patterns. An EKG measures the electrical activity of the heart through waves on paper and can help doctors identify potential heart problems, determine if chest pains are from a heart attack or angina, and investigate heart disease symptoms like dizziness and shortness of breath.

A medical professional will often administer an electrocardiogram, alternatively referred to as an EKG or ECG, to investigate potential heart problems indicated by unusual electrical activity. Activity is reflected by the EKG as lines on a piece of paper that rise and fall in waves.

An EKG can help the doctor determine whether or not the pain is a result of a heart attack or angina inflammation, a condition affecting the sac surrounding the heart. If symptoms suggest heart disease, such as dizziness and shortness of breath, an EKG may also be requested.
