Cardiac Monitor Techs, also known as telemetry technicians or EKG technicians, are healthcare professionals who specialize in monitoring patients’ heart rhythms using electrocardiogram (EKG) equipment. They observe heart activity, detect irregularities, and promptly report any changes to nurses or doctors.

Cardiac Monitor Techs play a key role in ensuring patient safety and providing timely interventions during cardiac events.
