An electrocardiogram (EKG) has no serious risks. It’s a harmless, painless test that detects the heart’s electrical activity. EKGs don’t give off electrical charges, such as shocks. You may have a mild rash where the electrodes (soft patches) were attached. This rash usually goes away without treatment.
