Course Description
This engaging course is the perfect introduction to ECGs. With modules focused on cardiac anatomy, cardiac conduction, and coronary veins and arteries, you’ll get an understanding of the workings of the cardiac system and how this correlates to ECG Rhythms. You’ll also learn best-practice electrode placement and ECG acquisition principles, providing the perfect foundation for analysing ECG Rhythms in subsequent courses.
Course Modules
-
1. Cardiac Anatomy & Physiology
Refresh your knowledge about the heart, its basic anatomy, physiology, and function. In order to prepare you to link this information and the abnormalities to the wave forms on an ECG. 35 mins
