  • ECG Basics for Understanding Arrhythmias8:46

    This chapter reviews the basics of electrocardiography for understanding arrhythmias. Topics include calibrations, waveforms, intervals, basic conduction and the ECG layout.

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) Basics Quiz
  • Determining the Heart Rate6:40

    This chapter reviews multiple methods for determining the heart rate on an ECG or rhythm strip.

  • Determining the Heart Rate Quiz
  • Naming Heart Rhythms12:26

    This chapter reviews how to name heart rhythms including those that originate from the sinus node, the atrioventricular node (junction), the ventricles, and the atria. It also reviews how to name the ventricular rates in patients with atrial fibrillation.

  • Naming Rhythms Quiz
  • Sinus Rhythms and Sinoatrial Blocks8:40

    This chapter reviews sinus rhythms and sinoatrial exit blocks. Topics covered include normal sinus rhythm; sinus bradycardia; sinus tachycardia; sinus arrhythmia; sinus pauses; sinus arrest; and sinoatrial exit blocks.

  • Sinus Rhythms and Sinus Blocks Quiz
  • Atrial Arrhythmias14:30

    This chapter reviews the ECG criteria for atrial arrhythmias including premature atrial complexes (PACs/APCs); ectopic atrial rhythm; atrial bradycardia; atrial tachycardia; paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (PAT); multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT); wandering atrial pacemaker; atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation.

  • Atrial Arrhythmias Quiz
  • Junctional Rhythms5:23

    This chapter reviews the ECG criteria for junctional rhythms. These include idiopathic junctional rhythms, junctional bradycardia, accelerated junctional rhythm, junctional tachycardia, and brief descriptions of reentrant junctional rhythms (atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia [AVNRT]; atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia [AVRT]).

  • Junctional Rhythms Quiz
  • Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)12:42

    This chapter reviews the ECG changes associated with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). It is divided into two parts. Part 1 gives brief definitions and descriptions of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), and atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT). Part 2 describes these in much more detail.

  • Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) Quiz
  • Ventricular Arrhythmias13:13

    This chapter reviews the ECG criteria for ventricular arrhythmias including premature ventricular complexes (PVCs); fusion beats; idioventricular rhythms; accelerated idioventricular rhythms; ventricular tachycardia; ventricular flutter; ventricular fibrillation and torsades de pointes. Other topics include fusion beats, capture beats, interpolated PVCs, compensatory pauses, and non-compensatory pauses.

  • Ventricular Arrhythmias Quiz
  • Ventricular Beats vs. Aberrancy19:38

    This chapter reviews criteria for telling the difference between ventricular beats and supraventricular beats with aberrancy. Each criterion is detailed and several ECGs are used as examples.

  • Ventricular Beats vs. Aberrancy Quiz
  • Atrioventricular (AV) Blocks18:57

    This chapter reviews the ECG criteria for atrioventricular (AV) blocks including first-degree AV block; second degree AV block, Mobitz 1; second degree AV block, Mobitz 2; third degree AV block; and 2:1 AV block.

  • Atrioventricular (AV) Blocks Quiz
  • Atrioventricular (AV) Dissociation11:09

    This chapter reviews the ECG criteria for atrioventricular (AV) dissociation.

  • Atrioventricular (AV) Dissociation Quiz
  • Pacemakers26:25

    This chapter reviews ECG findings associated with pacemakers. It is divided into three parts. Part 1 discusses pacemaker nomenclature, normal pacemaker function, and identifying a pacemaker on an electrocardiogram. Part 2 reviews other pacemaker features and their associated ECG findings. This includes Fusion Beats; Pseudofusion Beats; Unipolar Pacing; Bipolar Pacing; Lower Rate Limit; Upper Rate Tracking Limit. Part 3 goes over ECG findings that suggest pacemaker malfunction.

  • Pacemakers Quiz

Requirements

  • This is primarily an advanced course for medical professionals with some knowledge of cardiac heart rhythms, however it begins with basics and works into the advanced topics. Beginners to arrhythmias and ECGs will also benefit.

Description

Clinical Arrhythmia teaches detailed arrhythmia recognition and physiology, yet is presented in a simple video format. Unlike other courses, the material is very easy to comprehend. You will not just memorize the content, but will actually learn it. You learn to assess and diagnose both normal and abnormal heart rhythms. This course is divided into short, easily managed videos and self-assessment quizzes accompany each lesson. You learn all of this in about 2.75 hours and we encourage you to re-watch the videos to solidify your understanding.


Topics include: ECG basics, ECG calibration, the ECG waves (P, Q, QRS, ST, and T), intervals (PR, QRS, and QT), impulse conduction through the heart, determining the heart rate, normal and abnormal rhythms, sinus rhythms and sinoatrial blocks, junctional rhythms, atrial rhythms (e.g. PACs, ectopic atrial rhythms, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), ventricular arrhythmias (e.g. PVCs, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular flutter, ventricular fibrillation), atrioventricular blocks (e.g. 1st degree, 2nd degree Mobitz 1, 2nd degree Mobitz 2, 3rd degree, 2:1 AV block), and basic pacemaker nomenclature and function.


Although this course is best for providers with a little experience, it starts with basics and can be valuable to novice readers. Best for:  Medical Students, Medical Residents, ER Physicians, ICU Physicians, Anesthesiologists, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Telemetry Technicians, Paramedics, to name a few.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is geared toward any medical professional wanting to learn normal and abnormal heart rhythms. The course begins with basics and progresses to advanced topics. It is ideal for medical students, medical residents, cardiology fellows, attending physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, paramedics, and medical professionals wanting to know more than just basic ECG/arrhythmia reading skills
