What do substitutes do in the summer?

Telemetry technology and EKG (electrocardiogram) technology are related but not identical. Telemetry refers to the broader process of continuously monitoring and transmitting electrical signals from the heart to a remote device, often used in hospital settings to track a patient's heart activity in real-time without restricting their movement. An EKG, on the other hand, is a specific diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of the heart at a particular moment, providing detailed information about heart rhythm, electrical conduction, muscle thickening, and blood flow. While EKG techs may perform and interpret EKG tests, telemetry techs focus on operating and maintaining the equipment that provides ongoing heart monitoring, making their roles complementary but distinct within cardiac care.
