EKG Interpretation from Scratch: A Beginner's Pathway
Learn to read electrocardiograms confidently, starting with zero background in cardiology. You'll build from cardiac electrical anatomy and lead placement to systematic rhythm analysis, blocks, ischemia patterns, and real-world tracing practice. By the end you'll be able to interpret most common EKGs using a repeatable step-by-step method.
