This online short course introduces the foundations of reading a 12 Lead ECG. The 12 Lead ECG can be daunting and sometimes we just don’t get enough practice reading them. This course will provide an overview of the physiology and electrical activity of the heart, the identifiers of a normal sinus rhythm, explore electrode placement for various leads and outline a systematic approach to reading the 12 Lead ECG.
On successful completion of this course you will be able to:
- Outline the physiology and electrical activity of the heart
- Increased the size of the headings
- Chose a new typeface for the headings
- Describe ECG Lead systems and placement
- Describe troubleshooting strategies for ECG tracings
