ECG Part 2: ECG interpretation

There are 3 part video of basic ECG reading. The videos covered them very well.

The first video covered detailed 11 steps of ECG interpretation:

• Steps of reading lead II ECG
• Normal Sinus Rhythm 
• Sinus Bradycardia

ECG Part 1: Doing 12 Lead ECG

Before we discuss how to do ECG, the new novice nurse must understand the anatomy and physiology of the heart and what does it mean on a 12 lead ECG.

The anatomy and physiology of the heart is well discussed in the below videos.

After looking at the basics of the heart, now we can look at the placement of the ECG leads for the purpose of recording
