EKG (Electrocardiogram)
Professional, on-site diagnostic testing in Plainfield, NJ. Fast results for peace of mind.
An EKG is a fundamental diagnostic tool used to measure the electrical activity of your heartbeat. It can quickly detect arrhythmias, previous heart attacks, and other cardiac issues. We perform EKGs on-site for immediate analysis during routine physicals or urgent care visits.

At Health-Wise Family Care Center, we minimize your wait time and eliminate the need for secondary hospital visits. Our advanced equipment ensures precise results, allowing our providers to quickly evaluate your health and build an effective care plan.
What to Expect
Small sticky sensors (electrodes) will be attached to your chest, arms, and legs. Wires connect the sensors to a machine that records your heart's electrical activity. The test takes about 5 minutes.
How to Prepare
Avoid applying oily lotions or creams to your chest on the day of the exam, as this can prevent the sensors from sticking properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does an EKG hurt?
Not at all. The sensors simply read electrical signals; they do not send electricity into your body.
Can an EKG predict a heart attack?
While it cannot predict the future, an EKG can show if you are currently having a heart attack or if you have had one in the past.
