EKG Proactive Heart Health Testing in Las Vegas
Prevention, Not Just Reaction
EKG: A Simple, Essential Window Into Your Heart Health
At Longevity Lab, we use an Electrocardiogram (EKG) as one of our frontline diagnostic tools to assess your heart’s electrical activity. Quick, non-invasive, and highly informative, an EKG gives us a real-time snapshot of how your heart is functioning—and can often reveal problems before you experience symptoms.
What Is an EKG?
An EKG measures the electrical signals that control your heartbeat. As your heart contracts and relaxes, it produces small electrical impulses that travel through your chest. These signals are picked up by sensors placed on your skin and displayed as waves on a monitor or paper strip. Each wave tells a different part of the story.
What Can an EKG Reveal?
An EKG can detect both acute and long-term issues, including:
-
Heart rhythm irregularities (arrhythmias) – such as atrial fibrillation or tachycardia
-
Previous heart attacks – including “silent” ones you may not have known about
-
Active signs of ischemia – reduced blood flow that could signal blocked arteries
-
Hypertrophy – enlargement or thickening of the heart muscle
-
Electrolyte imbalances – such as low potassium or calcium that affect heart function
-
Effects of medications – especially those that impact your heart rhythm
Why We Use It Proactively
At Longevity Lab, our mission is prevention. We use the EKG not just for diagnosis after symptoms appear—but as part of your baseline cardiovascular profile. Whether you’re an active adult, over 40, have a family history of heart disease, or are simply seeking peace of mind, the EKG provides vital information for your long-term wellness plan.
Next Steps After Your EKG
Depending on the findings, we may recommend:
-
Advanced cardiac imaging
-
Expanded lab work for inflammation or clotting
-
Lifestyle and nutraceutical support
-
Referral for cardiology consultation, if necessary
