Waveforms, Segments, & Intervals
Key Points ECGs display voltage changes across the cardiac cycle, captured as waveforms, segments, and intervals. Waveforms represent depolarization or repolarization events. Segments are baseline connections between waveforms, usually representing…
STAT ECG 101: The Basics
Key Points Rapid, Non-Invasive, High-Yield Tool: The STAT ECG is the single best screening test in acute care medicine. It is inexpensive, minimally invasive, and immediately available. Within seconds, it…
ECG Foundations
Key Points: Electrocardiography Defined: An ECG records the heart’s electrical activity in real time, offering a rapid window into rate, rhythm and conduction. The ECG measures changes in voltage between…
