Prelearning: Introduction to ECG Interpretation

Arrhythmias and Myocardial Ischaemia

Introduction

The ability to correctly interpret the ECG is a critical skill for managing patients presenting with cardiac emergencies and it is worth becoming familiar with the basic principles of ECG interpretation especially as they relate to assessment of patient with acute chest pain and arrhythmia.  First things first - becoming confident to read an ECG (and feel comfortable to make highly significant clinical decisions based on the ECG) will take time - it cannot be learned in a short online tutorial or even a short face to face to face tutorial. It is like learning to drive a car - you can be shown the principles but the real learning occurs with repeated practice.

The modules in this prelearning provide a foundation for identifying major abnormalities on the ECG and introduce a system for approaching ECG Interpretation.
