Question

who interprets an ecg?
a. provider
b. medical assistant
c. patient
d. cardiologist

Explanation:

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a complex medical test. A cardiologist is a medical doctor specialized in heart - related conditions. They have the expertise to accurately interpret the electrical activity of the heart shown in an ECG. A provider is a very general term and not as specific as a cardiologist for ECG interpretation. A medical assistant's role is more about assisting in the process of taking the ECG (e.g., preparing the patient, operating the machine) rather than interpretation. A patient cannot interpret their own ECG as it requires medical training.

Answer:

D. cardiologist
