Commonly Asked Questions
An EKG Technician, or a Cardiovascular Technician, is an integral part of the management of patients with heart disease. EKG technicians use electrodes and other specialized electronic equipment to obtain heart readings known as electrocardiographs (EKGs). They are able to trace and record electrical impulses transmitted by the patient’s heart. The recorded data is then reviewed by a physician to evaluate the condition of the patient’s heart. The doctor’s diagnosis of heart disease is based upon the interpretation of EKG tracings. EKG’s are also performed before and after operations, during physicals, for patients with a history of heart disease, when patients are experiencing chest pains and other instances when a physician deems it necessary.
An EKG Technician adheres electrodes to the patient’s chest, arms and legs. An EKG machine is used to trace and record electrical impulses transmitted by the patient’s heart.
