An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is performed by placing electrodes on the patient's chest, arms, and legs to detect electrical activity of the heart. The electrodes are connected to an ECG machine, which records the heart's electrical signals over time. The procedure is quick, typically lasting about 10 minutes, and is painless. Once completed, the resulting graph is analyzed by a healthcare professional to assess heart health and detect any abnormalities.
