What is an ECG technician?

ECG technicians, also known as electrocardiograph technicians, are healthcare professionals who specialize in performing diagnostic tests that record the electrical activity of the heart. They operate ECG machines to create electrocardiograms, which help doctors detect and monitor heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac issues. ECG technicians may also prepare patients for the procedure, explain the process, and ensure accurate test results. Their work is essential in both hospitals and clinics for diagnosing and managing cardiac health.
