Students will learn to identify conduction abnormalities, atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, heart blocks, and ischemic and infarction changes as generated on ECGs. They will learn to calculate heart rates, axis deviations, and chamber hypertrophy, as well as putting it all together to provide an interpretation of the classic 12-lead EKG.
