What an EKG shows.
An EKG (electrocardiogram) records the electrical activity of your heart using small sensors placed on the skin. It's painless, takes just a few minutes, and can reveal signs of a heart attack, abnormal heart rhythm, or other cardiac problems almost instantly.
For anyone reporting chest pain or related symptoms, we aim to perform a 12-lead EKG within minutes of arrival — often before you're even taken to a treatment room.
Common reasons for an EKG.
- —Chest pain, pressure or tightness
- —Heart palpitations or an irregular heartbeat
- —Shortness of breath

Is an EKG painful?
No. An EKG is completely painless — small sensors are placed on your skin to record electrical activity, with no needles or discomfort involved.
How long does an EKG take?
The test itself takes just a few minutes. We aim to perform an EKG within minutes of arrival for anyone reporting chest pain or cardiac symptoms.
Can an EKG detect a heart attack?
An EKG can show signs consistent with a heart attack, such as specific changes in the heart's electrical pattern. It's typically combined with troponin testing for a complete evaluation.
Can urgent care do an EKG?
Some urgent care clinics offer basic EKG, but most lack the ability to act on an abnormal result — continuous monitoring, cardiac medications, and coordinated transfer. A true ER is the safer choice for cardiac symptoms.
What happens if my EKG is abnormal?
Your ER physician will explain the findings, order further testing if needed (such as troponin labs), and begin appropriate treatment or coordinate transfer immediately.
