What is an EKG?

An EKG measures the activity in your heart to decide if it is beating slow, fast, or normal. This test will not hurt.
You will be asked to go into a small room that has a table and a machine that looks like a computer. Then, you will sit up on the table to start the EKG. Your mom and dad can go with you to the EKG.
You will be asked to lift up or unbutton your shirt.
