The aim of this course is to understand and recognize | The aim of this course is to enable the student to understand and recognize normal ECGs and interpret abnormalities. The course is divided into two different sections. First the '''[[basics]]''' will be presented. This is followed by the interpretation of the normal ECG according to the 7+2 step plan: | ||

If, for example, the rhythm is not sinus in the [[Rhythm|first step]], the algorithm to analyze [[arrhythmias]] should be followed. If a [[LBBB|Left Bundle Branch Block]] is present in [[Conduction|step 3]], [[ST morphology]] will be strongly influenced by this defect. | ||

After you have finished the course you are invited to come back to read more about abnormal ECGs in the '''ECG textbook'''. | |||
