Arrhythmias can have a number of physiological effects which may lead to a range of symptoms. In particular, there is a loss of the normal co-ordinated depolarisation and contraction of …

Abnormal heart rhythms occur when the electrical impulse does not originate at the sinus node and follow the normal path through the atria and ventricles. In this presentation, we look …

In order to understand the relationship between sinus rhythm and blood pressure, we first need to focus on the concept of blood pressure. Simply put, blood pressure is the outwards …

In this presentation, we look at the parameters for normal sinus rhythm. This includes a review of the normal waveforms and relationships between them. We will also be looking at …

In this video, we look, in greater detail, at the relationship between sinus rhythm and the ECG waveforms. As this is a powerpoint presentation, we’ve also created an illustrated transcript …

During this presentation, we will look at some of the most common barriers to obtaining a high-quality ECG recording, including inaccurately placed electrodes or leads, electrical interference, skeletal muscle activity …

We hope you are enjoying the course so far! Next week, we will be building on what you’ve learned by exploring: Challenges you may face in obtaining a high-quality ECG. …
