ECG for dummies

ECG for dummies

Lecture 1: the course starts with background information and physiology. 

Lecture 2: followed by a 9-step approach to analyze an ECG: from rhythm to U-wave. In part 1 we come to the PR interval.

Lecture 3: the rest of the 9-step approach from QRS to the U-wave.

Lecture 4: is about rhythm- and conduction disorders and a 3-step approach to analyze arrhythmias.

Lecture 5: contains some special topics (ST elevation, tall R in V1, ECG in athletes, pacemakers etc.).

Lecture 6: brief summary of the 9-step approach of the basic ECG with clear schedules. With summary to download.

Lecture 7: brief summary of the rhythm- and conduction disorders, also with enlightening and simple schemes. With summary to download.

Lecture 8: a handy form on one A4 that can guide you through the assessment of an ECG.

3 hours of watching, thinking along and practicing. And you can assess an ECG. With handy checklist!

What you will learn

• Do you also find it quite a challenge to follow a course of more than 4 hours? ECGs difficult? This course is set up in such a way that you learn a lot about ECGs in a structured and efficient manner. And that with a few evenings of time.
• Start with the introduction first. So you know how an ECG is written on paper. Then it's easier to remember than just memorize facts.
• Then the actual analysis. In parts 2 and 3. Step by step. Print the summary that you will find in lesson 6. Keep it next to it. Provides overview. And at the end of lessons 2 and 3, practice some ECGs to test things for yourself.
