About
Electrocardiograms (EKG/ECG's) are performed routinely at medical examinations, pre-surgical evaluations, before initiating fitness programs, as well as in the assessment and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Because these exams are conducted so extensively, professional, well-trained EKG Technicians are needed in numerous places throughout the healthcare industry, including hospitals, doctor's offices, cardiac rehabilitation clinics, and other medical settings. They provide doctors and other clinicians with vital diagnostic information regarding the electrical activity of the patient's heart.
