EKG Technicians are responsible for performing

record electrical impulses transmitted by the heart.
Theses tests include basic EKGs, Holter Monitoring
(portable EKG which records activity for 24-48
hours.), 12-lead placement and Stress Tests
(treadmill). They assist a physician in diagnosing and
treating cardiac and blood vessel irregularities.
