Learn 12-lead ECG interpretation on your desktop computer with MicroEKG! There's no faster or easier way to learn to read ECGs. This program is a must-have for every hospital.
MicroEKG starts with the basics: Cardiac anatomy, ECG theory, lead placement, wave-forms, and intervals. Next you'll learn rhythm strip interpretation. Learn possible meanings of abnormal wave forms, abnormal intervals, and arrhythmias.
Once you've mastered the basics, MicroEKG goes on to the 12-lead ECG. Through interactive tutorials and quizzes, you'll learn to interpret QRS axis, infarct diagnosis, infarct location, and infarct age. You'll learn the causes of ST depression. You'll master diagnosis of chamber enlargement or hypertrophy, acute and chronic pericarditis, ischemia, and much more.
Browse through ECGs and rhythm strips. Pull up a diagnosis and see if you can recognize all the features on the ECG. Pop up a table or chart at any time while taking a lesson.
When you're ready, MicroEKG will present 12-lead ECGs and rhythm strips for interpretation. You type an ECG diagnosis in plain English, and the program evaluates your interpretation. MicroEKG provides hints, pointing out any features you may have overlooked. This program will make you a "master ECG reader" in no time.
MicroEKG includes an ECG-interpretation textbook in its manual. MicroEKG was written by Bruce Argyle, MD
