Telemetry

Telemetry is an electronic system designed to monitor a patient's heart activity. The heart is an electrical system and the monitors pick up cardiac activity, displaying it in electrical patterns on a computer screen for medical staff to see. Different heart rhythms indicate problems or diseases of the heart and require different treatment. Telemetry technicians, also called monitoring technicians or electrocardiograph technicians, are trained to recognize heart rhythms.

The Telemetry Technician, or Cardiac Monitoring Technician, is trained to Interpret heart rhythms and 12-Lead EKG's within the clinical setting (hospital and physician offices) as well as remote (non-patient) cardiac monitoring facilities. Preparation for licensure/certification.
