Answered by Secondmedic Expert

Knowing Electrocardiography (ECG) is essential for medical professionals and those who want to become one because it helps diagnose certain conditions related to the heart. ECG gives insight into the electrical activity of the cardiac system, which can allow healthcare providers to detect a wide range of serious issues such as arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction (heart attack), and decreased or increased cardiac output.

Moreover, ECG also offers health care professionals a non-invasive method of diagnosing patients quickly without having to resort to invasive methods such as angiograms or other imaging tests. This is especially useful in emergency cases where time is an important factor that can decide whether an individual survives or not. As a result, doctors rely heavily on ECGs for quick diagnosis in unstable life threatening situations like heart attacks and strokes.

Finally, recent advances in digital technology have revolutionized this field by making it possible to accurately monitor cardiac activity from remote locations with portable devices such as wearables or smartphones enabled by accessory apps that measure the data through Bluetooth connectivity and transfer it securely over telecommunications networks directly into EHRs (electronic health records). Furthermore, cloud computing has enabled remote access via mobile devices allowing doctors in less developed countries with limited resources have access to sophisticated technologies like AI powered algorithms used for analysis of large datasets enabling them better decision making capabilities at their disposal when treating their patients using ECGs remotely over telemedicine platforms.
