Conclusion

We have covered so much in this orientation class. Consider after taking all of this information in, there is a lot more to learn. Don't let that scare you though. There will always be plenty of things to learn as you continue to progress in your medical knowledge. The ability to interpret ECGs takes a lot of extra steps that have not been covered within this website. This class has served as nothing more than an orientation into ECG analysis. Once you have finished the final Quiz, you should be pretty well equipped to begin more intermediate ECG interpretation.

Basic Things To Remember

• The four chambers are: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle.
• The heart is a pump that sends blood to the rest of the body. It pumps about 60-100bpm.
• The heart creates its own electricity that travels through the heart.
• There are various pacemaker sites in the heart that create waves that we see on an ECG.
• The ECG is a graphical representation of the electricity the heart generates.

Go ahead and take the final quiz to test your abilities. Once you have finished you should review any information that you missed on the quiz. The final quiz is the final quiz offered on this website but not the final quiz you will take to get into ECG work.
