An EKG, or electrocardiogram, is a common test that is used to measure the electrical activity of the heart. Doctors sometimes use EKGs to diagnose heart problems or to check the health of the heart after a person has suffered a heart illness. An EKG is also used to diagnose certain heart conditions, such as arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms. An EKG can also be used to check the health of the heart after a person has undergone a heart surgery or a procedure to implant a heart device.
