Try this:

$xml2Array = array();
if (file_exists('C:/download/171_EKG.xml')) {
    $xml = simplexml_load_file('C:/download/171_EKG.xml');
    foreach( $xml->children() as $key => $value ) {
        $nodes = array();
        foreach( $value->children() as $k => $v ) {
            $nodes[ ( string ) $v->getName() ] = ( string ) $v;
        }

        $node = ( string ) $value->getName();
        $xml2Array[ $node ][] = $nodes;
    }
}
print_r($xml2Array);

Hope this helps.
