Can ekg detecte bloodclot?

EKG and blood clot: Blood clots are best detected using sonography. An ekg is not the test to order for detection of them.

ECG : Ecg shows electrical activity but it doen't show clots. You can interpolate evidence to suggest a pulmonary embolus but not read it directly.
