Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

Dear Doctor Roach: I’m an 84-year-old male who recently experienced severe dizziness and was driven to the emergency room by my wife. They did a CT scan and several other tests, including an electrocardiogram (EKG). After the doctor looked at the EKG, he immediately ordered a second one. After reviewing the second one, he said that they had to get me on a heart monitor, so I was put on a bed and wheeled into a room where I was put on a monitor.
