EKG technicians, sometimes called cardiographic technicians, specialize in electrocardiography, or EKG testing. EKGs measure and record heart action and rhythm by graphically tracing electrical activity occurring during heartbeats. Technicians attach electrodes to the patient’s chest, 胳膊和腿, and then manipulate switches on an EKG machine to obtain a reading. Physicians use EKG readings in diagnosing heart ailments, monitoring heart functions, and recording patients’ progress.
