ECG Roadmap
The Medical Roadmaps project aims to organise educational materials into logical sequences of lessons for self-directed learning, starting with a basic foundation and aiming for mastery.
 * Learn how to perform an ECG including /Lead placement/
 * Learn to systematically analyse the features of an ECG:
 * A basic set of ECG features to learn about includes the /Rate/, /Rhythm/ and /Axis/.
 * Common ECG features related to heart activation (depolarisation) include the P wave, /PR interval/ and /QRS complex/.
 * Common ECG features related to heart recovery (repolarisation) include the /ST segment/, /T wave/ and /QT interval/.
 * Less common ECG features include the PTa or PR segment, /U wave/, /Delta wave/ and /Epsilon wave/.
 * Extend your knowledge about ECG pathology including the effects of /Electrolytes/, /Ischemia and infarction/, /Toxicology/, /Hypertrophy/, /Conduction blocks/, /Pacemakers/ and /Genetic disorders/.
