Electrocardiography
An electrocardiogram – abbreviated as EKG or ECG – is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat. With each beat, an electrical impulse (or “wave”) travels through the heart. This wave causes the muscle to squeeze and pump blood from the heart.
The doctor's diagnosis of the EKG report can determine a patient's susceptibility for heart disease and a well trained EKG technician is an integral part of managing the patient's needs and care.
