EPT165 – Cardiovascular and Diagnostic Monitoring
This entry-level course students will learn to measure key ECG parameters, including duration and voltage, and gain an understanding of waveforms, including the isoelectric line and positive and negative wave reflections. The course covers Einthoven’s triangle and its waveforms, helping students differentiate between key terms such as interval, segment, complex, and wave. Learners will also acquire the ability to calculate heart rate, analyze common ECG rhythms, and identify artifacts. Emphasis will be placed on recognizing limb and precordial lead reversals, understanding normal R wave progression, and mastering the basics of ECG interpretation. This course is ideal for those new to ECG and electrocardiography.
