She was rushed to the hospital with chest pains earlier this month -- but today, Mariska Hargitay was the one causing palpitations ... by looking so damn hot.

Hargitay was on the "Law & Order: SVU" set today in NY for her first day back since her heath scare, where she told us she was feeling "good."

Mariska Hargitay was rushed to a hospital in New York last night after suffering chest pains.
This is the third time Hargitay has been hospitalized since December -- the previous two times were for a collapsed lung.
We're told Mariska complained of chest pains while on the set of "Law & Order: SVU," but was taken to the hospital after filming.
Our cameras happened to catch up with Mariska Sunday night and she told us her health was "good."
