The heart is a fascinating organ. It has the capability of generating bursts of energy or electrical impulses within itself to generate life. And it does this through specialized cells that are in specific areas inside the heart to make it contract and pump blood.
Understanding and Knowing ECG is a course where you will feel comfortable learning.
You understand EKGs by learning the anatomy and physiology of the heart including its pumping action and electrical activity and how this electrical activity is recorded on a piece of paper.
You know EKGs by practicing and interpreting lots of EKGs, and we will achieve both in this course.
