The electrocardiogram is one of the safest methods to assess heart functionality, because it allows the identification of cardiovascular diseases, changes in coronary flow, as well as cardiac rhythm and conduction abnormalities. The present study aimed to demonstrate and emphasize the importance of nurses in the interpretation of the electrocardiogram. This is a narrative review of the literature, held on BDENF and LILACS, considering full original articles in Portuguese, published in the period 2010-2020. The final sample consisted of 06 articles, being 02 descriptive exploratory and 04 crosssectional studies, all published in interdisciplinary journals. The studies emphasized how important it is for nurses to have technical and scientific knowledge of the electrocardiogram to make the diagnosis as quickly as possible, improving the patient’s prognosis. They also reported the relevance of continual and permanent education for the training of these professionals. The preparation of nursing professionals and their team is essential, so they can provide adequate care to the patient affected by cardiac changes.
