The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most useful diagnostic tests in emergency medicine. It is an easy and inexpensive test that is used routinely in the assessment of patients with chest pain. The ECG is the cornerstone for making the diagnosis of cardiac ischemia and is used for making decisions about eligibility for thrombolytic therapy.
The tutorial is organized in sections based on a recommended "Method" of ECG interpretation. Each section provides some didactic teaching points, often linked to illustrations, and an interactive quiz.
