Our Reading EKG Lessons and Reference Guides provide basic training for EKG analysis as well as a quick reference guide for over 40 types of ECG tracings. The arrhythmia drills and quizzes allow you to practice EKG interpretation.
An electrocardiogram or EKG, records electrical activity in the heart. An machine records these electrical signals across multiple heart beats and produces an EKG strip that is interpreted by a healthcare professional.
Users practice reading EKGs by identifying tracings in a multiple choice questions and answers format. Digital calipers are available to assist in analyzing each EKG practice strip. Feedback is provided after each response.
Our EKG reading guide provides information about many types of arrhythmias. For each EKG arrhythmia we provide multiple electrocardiogram tracings. Electrocardiogram analysis is provided using a concise summary of the EKG's key features. Tracing features can be measured using our digital calipers.
The focus of this introductory EKG course is to provide a tutorial about the main features of EKGs along with a method for analyzing ECGs. This method includes assessment of rhythm, calculating heart rate, observing P-wave forms, measurement of intervals and segments and the evaluation of other relevant waves. reading EKG practice exercises serve to reinforce the lesson content.
