This electrocardiology (ECG) course is aimed at beginning doctors and nurses. After this course you should be able to make a start at interpretatint ECG's in a systematic way. '''This course was originally started in [http://www.ecgpedia.org/nl/index.php?title=Hoofdpagina Dutch], but will be translated over the next months:'''
