What is an EKG Technician?

An Electrocardiogram (EKG) Technician is a trained healthcare professional responsible for performing diagnostic tests that monitor heart activity. Using specialized equipment, EKG Technicians record electrical signals from the heart to help doctors identify irregular heart rhythms, heart disease, and other cardiovascular concerns.

EKG Technicians work in hospitals, medical offices, urgent care centers, and specialty clinics. Their role is important in helping physicians evaluate patients' heart health quickly and accurately. At Nursing Detroit, students learn how to place electrodes properly, operate EKG equipment, read basic rhythm patterns, and communicate professionally with patients during testing procedures.
