Chest pain or palpitations? Our Beaumont ER performs an EKG within minutes of arrival, backed by on-site cardiac blood testing and continuous heart monitoring — 24/7, read immediately by board-certified emergency physicians.
An EKG (electrocardiogram, also called ECG) records your heart’s electrical activity through small sensors placed on the skin. It takes less than a minute, is completely painless — and it’s one of the most important tests in emergency medicine.
An EKG can reveal a heart attack in progress, dangerous rhythm problems like atrial fibrillation, and strain on the heart muscle. Combined with on-site cardiac enzyme blood tests and continuous monitoring, it gives our physicians a fast, clear picture of your heart.
With heart emergencies, minutes equal heart muscle. That’s why chest pain patients at Eastex ER are prioritized for an EKG immediately on arrival — not after a long wait.
