Accurate diagnosis of heart rhythm disorders is the first step toward effective management. Dr. Zelman typically employs a range of diagnostic tools to assess the heart?s electrical activity and identify the type and severity of an arrhythmia. Common tests include: Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): A standard test that records the electrical activity of the heart, helping to detect irregularities in heart rhythm. Holter Monitor: A portable ECG device worn for 24 to 48 hours to capture heart activity over a longer period, particularly useful for detecting intermittent arrhythmias.
