What Does an EKG Measure?
A 12-lead EKG (electrocardiogram) records the electrical activity of the heart over a brief period. It can detect arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, prior myocardial infarction (heart attack), and some structural heart conditions. It does not diagnose chest pain causes directly but is a key screening tool.

Many surgical facilities require a recent EKG for patients over 40 or those with cardiac history before elective procedures under anesthesia. DOD can help facilitate this provider order when medically appropriate.
