Is an ekg test a reliable way of knowing your heart is ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ecg: The ECG is diagnostic for cardiac rhythm, it is indicative of other things. After history and physical exam it is one of the first basic tests we use. Other tests are more informative for things other than rhythm.
