Basic ECG Certification For Healthcare Providers

Basic ECG Certification For Healthcare Providers

Basic ECG Certification

This is easy-to-understand and teaches all the ECG basics you need to follow a case discussion and learn the ECG on the job. Plus, you learn how to diagnose important structural heart problems like myocardial infarction, hypertrophy, and abnormal rhythms. Recommended for anyone wanting to improve or refresh their ECG analysis skills.

Understanding ECG Wave Form

This basic module breaks down the components of the ECG tracing so you can understand more advanced concepts of electrocardiography. The ABCs of ECGs.

  • At the blink of an eye—deconstructing the ECG curve
  • The ECG curve quiz

 

LEVEL 6

Measurements

In this level you learn how to measure intervals and amplitudes on the ECG. No need to carry a ruler with you! Counting and some simple math is all you need.

  • Interval and amplitude measurements
  • Measurements quiz

 

LEVEL 7

Interpretation of Durations

In this module, you learn what it means when intervals and amplitudes are off. There are only a few concepts you need to understand.

  • When the timing is off—keys of duration interpretation
  • Durations quiz

 

LEVEL 8

The Precordial Leads  & its Application

This level introduces you to the precordial leads and which areas of the heart they depict. It will pay off later to drill down into these important basics now!

  • The precordial leads—what nobody ever tells you
  • The precordial leads quiz

 

LEVEL 9

Ventricular hypertrophy

The assessment of ventricular hypertrophy can seem complicated. After attending this module, you will be able to diagnose right and left ventricular hypertrophy.

  • Ventricular hypertrophy—what you really need to know
  • Ventricular hypertrophy quiz

 

LEVEL 10

ST depression and T negativity

In this level, you get an easy-to-understand introduction to ST depression and T negativity. This module is so essential, even savvy ECGologists will find it useful!

  • ST depression and T negativity—a simple approach
  • ST depression and T negativity quiz

 

LEVEL 11

Introduction to myocardial infarction

Whatever your field of expertise might be, this module on diagnosing myocardial infarction is one you absolutely, positively don’t want to miss.

  • What everybody ought to know about myocardial infarction
  • Introduction to myocardial infarction quiz

 

LEVEL 12

Cardiac axis, atrial hypertrophy, and low voltage

The evaluation of the cardiac axis is easier than it seems. But let’s be honest, the cardiac axis is not very useful in most cases. We’ll teach you when knowledge of the axis really makes a difference. Furthermore we’ll teach you how to diagnose atrial hypertrophy and atrial enlargement on the ECG. Some underrated skills that can come in handy in certain situations.

  • The shocking truth about the cardiac axis
  • What every clinician should know about atrial hypertrophy and low voltage
  • Cardiac axis, atrial hypertrophy, and low voltage quiz

 

LEVEL 13

Normal sinus rhythm

Up until this point, rhythm-ology has not been touched upon in the Basic ECG Course. In this module, we’ll teach you the criteria of normal sinus rhythm.

  • Rhythm 101—the normal rhythm
  • Normal sinus rhythm quiz
