EKG Testing

An electrocardiogram, or EKG, records the electrical activity of your heart to help check its rhythm and look for warning signs that might need further attention. It is a quick, painless test that many patients have as part of a physical, before a procedure, or when new symptoms like chest discomfort, palpitations, or shortness of breath come up. At Quentin Medical Pc in Brooklyn, NY, a 12-Lead EKG is available right in the office, so results are ready to review the same visit.

What to Expect

A small number of sensors are placed on your chest, arms, and legs to capture a brief tracing of your heartbeat. There is no discomfort and no preparation needed, and the test itself takes only a few minutes.
