Ratings: 4.57 / 5.00

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.

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.
Now you already know a lot about ECGs. You have spent two hours. But you also want to know something about arrhythmias. Spend an hour on it in lesson 4. And keep also the summary of lesson 7 next to it. Makes overview and remembering easier.
And you still have energy? Lesson 5 deals with some special topics. Quite interesting.
And repetition is the best teacher. In lesson 8 you will find a checklist. Almost all of the above on one A4. Can also be downloaded or printed.

GP's, doctors in training for cardiologist, internist, pulmonologist, geriatrician, nurses who want to know more about ECGs and arrhythmias. In short, anyone who ever has to deal with ECGs.
