As a medical professional, you will likely come into contact with ECGs on a daily, if not hourly, basis. While ECGs are used to diagnose a wide range of medical issues, there are a few critical ECG patterns that you should be able to identify and interpret without any hesitation. In this post, we’ll look […]

An ECG is one of the most efficient and most effective tests to evaluate the heart, making ECG interpretation a vital diagnostic skill in any medical setting.  ECGs are used when diagnosing a wide range of heart issues, including myocardial infarction, ventricular fibrillation, or bundle branch blocks.  An ECG is comprised of 12 leads that […]

Ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation are two serious cardiac arrhythmias that can often lead to death. Because of the critical nature of these abnormal heart rhythms, it is essential to be able to identify each on an ECG or rhythm strip. In this article, we’ll cover the differences between Vtach and Vfib, as well as […]

Ventricular fibrillation, or Vfib, is an abnormal cardiac rhythm where the electrical conduction in the ventricles goes wild, causing 350 to 600 impulses per minute. As a result, the ventricles quiver instead of contracting fully, preventing blood from pumping in the body leading to death. The quickest and most painless way to diagnose ventricular fibrillation is […]

An arrhythmia is simply an abnormality of the rhythm of the heart. More specifically, it is an abnormality of cardiac impulse formation or conduction. That means that the areas of the heart that produce impulse may not function correctly leading to heart rhythms being too fast, too slow, or even cease. Additionally, an arrhythmia may […]

EKG interpretation (or ECG interpretation) is a vital diagnostic tool that helps identify various life-threatening cardiac problems. Executive Electrocardiogram Education was designed to help medical students and medical practitioners in all aspects of medical care develop the skills at ECG interpretation that allow them to serve their patients better and advance in their field. It’s […]

ECGs, or electrocardiograms, help medical professionals read the electrical activity of a patient’s heart. ECGs are simple yet essential machines that allow nurses, nurse practitioners, doctors, and other healthcare professionals to quickly read a patient’s cardiac rhythm and identify other cardiac issues. In this article, we’ll take a look at what normal electrocardiogram intervals are […]
