Introduction

• Electrocardiograms also called ECGs or EKGs
  are often done in a doctor's office, a clinic or
  a hospital room. ECG machines are standard
  equipment in operating rooms and ambulances. Some
  personal devices, such as smart watches,
  offer ECG monitoring. Ask your doctor if this is
  an option for you.
• Electrocardiogram records the electrical signals
  in your heart. It's a common and painless test
  used to quickly detect heart problems and monitor
  your heart's health.

• If blocked or narrowed arteries in your heart
  (coronary artery disease) are causing chest pain
  or a heart attack

• An electrocardiogram is a safe procedure. There
  is no risk of electrical shock during the test
  because the electrodes used do not produce
  electricity. The electrodes only record the
  electrical activity of your heart.
