Tests performed through the EKG department focus on the heart to detect possible ab- normalities and help physicians with their diagnosis. Kathy Brooks of the EKG de- partment performs four different tests including EKGs, stress tests, 24-hour Holter monitoring and EEGs. Mrs. Brooks who has been working at Kings Mountain Hospital for almost a year said, "I love my job. The heart has always fascinated me." Every person's heart has its own rhythm or beat. An EKG, or elec- trocardiogram, is a tracing of the heart beat. To perform an EKG, ten leads are connected to patient on different areas of the body. Every time the heart beats, it sends out an electrical impulse to the stylus which records it on paper. The re- sulting image allows a physician to see how the heart is functioning by the beats it is putting out. The pro- cedure is noninvasive and is pain- less. The EKG machine is portable and can be used throughout the en- tire hospital. An EKG reading reveals damage to heart from previous heart attacks and helps detect blockage in arter- ies. However, an EKG cannot pre- dict heart attacks. Having an EKG is a standard procedure before major surgery. mrs. Brooks said, "You wouldn't want to go into surgery without knowing if some little thing was wrong with your heart." A physician might request that a patient has an EKG performed be- cause the patient is experiencing chest pains, left arm pain, having difficulty breathing or persistent heartburn or indigestion, which are all signs of heart problems. In addi- tion, people with a family history of heart problems should consider having an EKG done so they can have a normal EKG reading in their records to compare with any EKG readings they may have in the future. Twenty-four hour Holter moni- toring is like a 24-hour EKG. A 24-hour Holter monitoring is per- KATHY BROOKS The symbol may have changed, but your savings remain safe . . . absolutely, positively, totally safe.
