Wear a splint. After a reduction of your broken toe, a splint is often put in place to support and protect the toe while it heals properly. Alternatively, you may have to wear a supportive compression boot, but either way, you'll likely need the use of crutches over the short term (2 weeks or so).
â¢ EKG (noun) The noun EKG has 1 sense: 1. a graphical recording of the cardiac cycle produced by an electrocardiograph. Familiarity information: EKG used as a noun is very rare.
An electrocardiogram (EKG) measures your heartâs electrical activity. This noninvasive test can measure many things, from how fast the heart beats, to how well the heartâs chambers are conducting electrical energy. An abnormal EKG can mean many things. Sometimes EKG abnormalities are a normal variation of a heartâs rhythm, which does not affect your health. Other times, an abnormal EKG can signal a medical emergency, such as a myocardial infarction (heart attack) or a dangerous arrhythmia.
