PY - 2023 T2 - ECG Core Curriculum AB - To understand the electrocardiogram (ECG), you need a little background in electrophysiology. After all, it’s electricity that makes the heart work. The ECG is nothing more than a recording of the heart’s electrical activity. By analyzing the pattern of these recordings, you can diagnose numerous abnormalities of the heart’s structure and function. At first you may think this basic science has little to do with “real world” electrocardiography, but have patience. In time you will realize that these concepts come in handy when we start interpreting actual ECG tracings and discussing cardiac medications.
