Description

The 12-lead ECG is an important diagnostic tool used in healthcare settings to assess cardiac function, identify abnormalities, and guide treatment decisions. Competency in ECG interpretation is essential for healthcare professionals across various disciplines. This course will cover the basics of 12-lead ECG interpretation. The course begins by reviewing cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology. Learners will identify the normal findings of a 12-lead ECG including rhythm, rate, intervals, axis, and concordance. They will also examine a systematic approach to analyzing a twelve-lead ECG. Learners will apply this systematic approach to aid in the description and documentation of 12-lead ECG output.
