EKG Definition
An EKG, also called an ECG or electrocardiogram, is a recording of the heart’s electrical activity. It is a quick and painless procedure. EKGs captures a tracing of cardiac electrical impulse as it moves from the atrium to the ventricles. These electrical impulses cause the heart to contract and pump blood. EKGs are interpreted by medical professionals to understand the following:
Heart rate
Heartbeat regularity
Strength and timing of the electrical signals
Any possible abnormal conditions
EKG Training Introduction
Use our lessons, drills and quizzes to improve your EKG knowledge and skills.
EKG Interpretation – Introduction
This introductory course reviews the main features of electrocardiogram strips. A method for analyzing an electrocardiogram is presented. This method includes assessment of rhythm, calculating heart rate, observing P-wave forms, measurement of wave intervals and segments and the evaluation of other relevant waves. In addition, our drills allow students to practice electrocardiogram identification.
EKG Practice Drills
The EKG practice drills provide a fast and interactive method for learning EKGs. Users are asked to identify the arrhythmia category. Immediate feedback is available after answering a multiple choice question.
