Ekg done 2 days ago ovulation about to begin having rib pain i guess from breast swelling how accurate is an ekg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not at all: In EKG should still be accurate. If there is a significant amount of tissue (for example if someone is obese or has very significant swelling), then the lead conduction will be reduced, but the overall picture should not change. Hope this helps.
