A member asked:

What do the results of an ambulatory electrocardiogram tell the doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: Ekg abnormalities tell us where there is irregular electrical activity in the electrical pathways of the heart. This may be related to a heart attack or any number of other health conditions.
