PSG 205 ECG Interpretation

Explores the normal electrical conduction as well as common variations as evidenced by changes in the waveform on the cardiac rhythm. Examines the basics of Electrocardiogram (ECG) testing, heart pressures, blood volume/physiology and the electrical conduction system. Involves the interpretation of ECG rhythms: normal, ventricular hypertrophy, bundle branch block, AV block, myocardial ischemia, bradycardia, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and irregular rhythms. Required: Admission to the Polysomnography program.
