A short ECG registration of normal heart rhythm (sinus rhythm)

The aim of this course is to understand and recognize the normal ECG and to be able to interprete abnormalities. The course is divided in different sections. First the basics will be presented. This is followed by the interpretation of the normal ECG. Then abnormalities are discussed: (ischemia, arrhythmias and miscellaneous). Finally the real world is presented through practice ECGs.

The American College of Cardiology has published a list of abnormalities a professional should be able to recognise. It is advisable to go through this list at the end of this course in order to recognise areas that need your attention.
