The electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) helps the doctor to interpret the electrical activity of the heart. It also helps him/her in determining if your heart's rhythm is that of a healthy heart. It does not necessarily help the patient since this is only a test. It does not provide any treatment to the heart. It could help the patient by diagnosing.
