EKG Versus Other Heart Tests: What’s the Difference?

An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a common test that records the electrical activity of your heart. Other heart tests, such as an echocardiogram (which uses sound waves to create images of your heart), a stress test (which measures your heart’s response to exercise), and a cardiac CT scan (which creates detailed images of your heart and blood vessels), provide different information about your heart health. At PACS Urgent Care, our doctor, Dr. Walid Hammad, and his team will choose the right test based on your symptoms and medical history. For more information, contact us today or simply visit us. We have convenient locations to serve you in Alexandria VA, and Ruther Glen VA!
