What does an ECG analyst do?

An ECG Analyst is a healthcare professional who specializes in interpreting electrocardiograms (ECGs or EKGs), which are tests that record the electrical activity of the heart. Their main responsibilities include analyzing ECG tracings to detect abnormalities, arrhythmias, or signs of heart disease, and reporting their findings to physicians or cardiologists. They may work in hospitals, clinics, or diagnostic labs, and often assist in monitoring patients with cardiac conditions. Strong attention to detail and knowledge of cardiac physiology are essential for this role.
