An ECG (Electrocardiogram) class typically begins with an introduction to the basic principles of cardiac electrophysiology, explaining how electrical impulses travel through the heart to produce the characteristic waves seen on an ECG trace. Students learn to identify key components of an ECG, such as the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave, along with intervals like the PR and QT intervals. The class covers normal ECG patterns and then transitions to recognizing common abnormalities, such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and ventricular tachycardia. The course often involves interactive discussions, case studies, and quizzes to reinforce learning. By the end, students should be proficient in reading ECGs, understanding their clinical implications, and applying this knowledge in a clinical setting.
