It is important to realize that not all of these steps may be applicable when you encounter abnormalities on the ECG. If for example the rate is not sinus rhythm in the [[Rhythm|first step]], the algorythm 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 conduction defect. | |||
Finally the real world is presented through [[Cases and Examples|practice ECGs]]. | Finally the real world is presented through [[Cases and Examples|practice ECGs]]. | ||
