You’ll study basic to advanced concepts in EKG. These concepts include basic cardiac anatomy and physiology, proper lead placement for a 5- and 12- lead, technical aspects of the EKG machine and how to calculate heart rate, how to interpret a rhythm strip, and several advanced concepts working with the 12-lead EKG machines. You’ll also learn how to prep a patient for EKG monitoring and how to troubleshoot EKG artifacts. This training will allow you to assist the physician with diagnosing myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, and heart rhythm irregularities. EKG machines are used in physicians’ offices, hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
