Basic ECG Interpretation

About this course

Please visit this page for more information on CEPA.

This introductory course provides a foundational overview of electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation with an emphasis on rhythm recognition. Participants will learn the basic principles of cardiac electrical activity, including waveform identification, heart rate calculation methods, and normal sinus rhythm characteristics. The course also introduces common conduction disturbances, atrioventricular blocks, bundle branch blocks, and both ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. Additionally, learners will gain exposure to key clinical concepts such as ST segment changes and their implications. Designed for students and professionals in clinical and exercise physiology settings, this course builds essential skills for accurate ECG analysis and interpretation.

What you will learn

• Determine the cardiac cycle components and what they each represent in the cardiac cycle
• Define what constitutes normal sinus rhythm versus an atrioventricular or bundle branch block
• Differentiate between supraventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation; supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia
