Mobile Cardiac Testing
Mobile EKG & ECG Services in South Florida
When your physician, surgeon, or surgical facility asks for a 12-lead electrocardiogram, Pink Mobile Labs & Diagnostics can perform it at your home, office, or hotel across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties — a common step in pre-operative clearance and in follow-up testing ordered by a treating clinician.
A mobile EKG is not emergency care
If you have chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, fainting, severe palpitations, or any symptom that worries you, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department now. Do not book a routine mobile appointment instead of seeking emergency care.
What an EKG is, in plain language
Your heart beats because of electrical signals that travel through the heart muscle. An electrocardiogram — EKG or ECG, two names for the same test — records those signals through small electrodes placed on your skin and prints them as a tracing.
The test is non-invasive and painless. Nothing is injected, and no electricity is sent into your body: the electrodes only listen. A qualified clinician interprets the tracing — we perform the recording, and we do not diagnose.
Common reasons an EKG is ordered
- Pre-operative evaluation when a surgeon, anesthesia team, or facility requests one
- Cosmetic and plastic surgery clearance checklists that include a 12-lead EKG
- Follow-up testing ordered by a treating physician or cardiologist
- Baseline testing requested before starting certain medications or programs
- Patients who are homebound, recovering, or have limited mobility
- Travelers and out-of-town surgical patients staying in a hotel or recovery residence
Pre-operative EKGs are one part of a broader evaluation. See medical clearance for the full process and cosmetic surgery clearance if you are preparing for a plastic or cosmetic procedure.
What to expect during your appointment
- 1
Confirm the order
An EKG is typically requested by a physician, surgeon, anesthesia team, or surgical facility. Share the order or clearance checklist you were given so the visit matches exactly what was asked for.
- 2
Book your visit
Request an appointment online or call 754-300-9290. We confirm your address falls within Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach County.
- 3
Setup at your location
You lie down and rest. Small adhesive electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs. Areas of skin may need to be cleaned so the electrodes make good contact.
- 4
The recording
The 12-lead recording itself usually takes only a few moments. You are asked to stay still and breathe normally — nothing is injected and no electricity is sent into your body.
- 5
Tracing is delivered for review
The tracing is provided for clinical review and, where you direct us, sent to the ordering physician, surgeon, or surgical coordinator who requested it.
How to prepare
- Wear or bring a top that can be opened or removed for electrode placement
- Avoid lotions, oils, and heavy body creams on the chest that day — electrodes stick better on clean, dry skin
- Have your order or clearance form, photo ID, and medication list ready
- Plan for a quiet, flat place to lie down for a few minutes
- Tell the technician about a pacemaker, implanted device, or prior cardiac history
Results, review, and coordination
The tracing is provided for clinical review and forwarded to the ordering physician, surgeon, or coordinator where you direct us. Most test results are available within 24–72 hours, depending on the test and laboratory.
If additional testing is requested after review — laboratory work or imaging, for example — we can coordinate that within our service area. See pre-operative lab testing and mobile X-ray.
