EKG Technician

This course introduces you to the fundamentals of electrocardiography (ECG) and its place in modern healthcare. You begin with the history and purpose of the ECG and connect cardiovascular anatomy and physiology to the rhythms recorded on tracings. You also study ECG equipment, leads, electrodes, patient preparation, infection control, and communication practices. The course guides you through identifying and interpreting a wide range of rhythms, including sinus, atrial, junctional, ventricular, and heart block dysrhythmias. You also review pacemaker rhythms, life-threatening conditions, stress testing, and ambulatory monitoring. Clinical presentations such as ischemia, infarction, and heart failure are linked to ECG findings to strengthen your understanding of their real-world significance. By the end of the course, you will be able to interpret ECG patterns with greater accuracy and connect your knowledge to patient care, safety, and professional responsibilities in healthcare settings. Details
