ECG Interpretation: Sinus, Atrial, Junctional Rhythms, and Heart Blocks

Course overview

Caring for patients who require electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring involves an ability to interpret the ECG waveform and identify abnormal rhythms. This course provides an overview of the most common sinus, atrial, and junctional rhythms, as well as heart blocks. A basic review of ECG interpretation principles is also provided. This course focuses on rhythm interpretation using 6-second rhythm strips vs. 12-lead ECG interpretation, as 12-lead ECGs are covered in detail in another course of this series. The goal of this course is to provide healthcare professionals with education on ECG interpretation of sinus, atrial, and junctional rhythms and heart blocks.
