WHAT IS AN ELECTROCARDIOGRAM TECHNICIAN?
An electrocardiogram (ECG) technician is responsible for performing tests on patients using an ECG machine that assesses the patient's heart rhythm and rate. Many people are born or have a heart irregularity that is important to diagnose in order to ensure their health and safety, as well as treatment options, moving forward.
