Before knowing about the benefits of an ECG Technician Course, there are a few things to know about the ECG course itself.

Electro Cardio Gram, ECG is a piece of equipment that records the electrical activity of your heart. Cardiac muscle, like all other body muscles, reacts to electrical depolarization and produces certain electrical signals.

These electrical signals formed due to heartbeats producing an ECG strip. That’s when the ECG interpretation is required. The interpretation of this ECG strip is done by a healthcare professional. But it’s found that many a time even healthcare professionals find it difficult to interpret Or understand an ECG strip. and ECG interpretation is one of the oldest yet simplest forms of cardiac investigation and assessment.
