Are you confused by ECGs? Feel like there’s no easy way in? Mixing up your heart blocks and your atrial fibrillations?
This course is aimed at medical students, nursing students and paramedic/EMT students who want to build their understanding of ECGs and build their confidence in interpreting them and making diagnoses.
When I was first taught about ECGs, I was taught by senior doctors who didn’t understand what medical students do and don’t know. I developed this system for ECG interpretation and I have taught to many other students at the University of Cambridge.
It works by building a first-principles understanding of how an ECG works, allowing us to intuitively understand the most confusing elements of ECGs, without having to rely on mnemonics and quick tricks. Patients don’t fit into textbook definitions a lot of the time, and these shortcuts often fail in real life. Only by a deep, true understanding can we confidently tackle any ECG in or out of the exam hall.
