EKG Interpretation Made Simple
Most students learn EKGs as a list of shapes to memorize, and the list falls apart the first time a tracing doesn’t look like the textbook. This course teaches one systematic read you apply to every tracing, then gives you hundreds of tracings to practice it on.
How the Question Bank Works
Four practice tests of 50 questions each, with question numbers across the top, your percentage correct as you go, and a pass line at 75%. Answers show red or green the moment you choose, with an explanation and its sources. You can skip ahead, flag questions, highlight the stem, and come back later: your progress is saved to your account, so you can start on your phone and finish on your computer. Results break down by topic so you know what to review.
Train Your Eye
The rapid-fire drill shows a tracing and gives you ten seconds to name it, then focuses on the patterns you miss. Flashcards cover the tracings, the numbers and the rules with spaced repetition. The tracing library holds all 63 patterns, from normal sinus rhythm to de Winter T waves, each with its criteria, a clinical pearl and the patterns it is most often confused with.
What It Covers
Rate and sinus rhythms; atrial and junctional rhythms; ventricular rhythms and cardiac arrest; AV blocks; bundle branch blocks and axis; chamber enlargement and voltage; ischemia and infarction by territory; STEMI equivalents and mimics such as Wellens, de Winter, pericarditis, early repolarization and Brugada; electrolytes, drugs and hypothermia; and pacemakers.
Sourced to Current Guidelines
Every explanation cites its source, including the AHA/ACCF/HRS recommendations for EKG interpretation, the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction, the 2025 ACC/AHA acute coronary syndrome guideline, the 2023 atrial fibrillation guideline, and the 2025 AHA advanced life support guidelines.
See It Before You Buy
The free Test Drive gives you 10 practice questions (50 when you add your email), part of the tracing library, a sample of the drill and flashcards, and Lecture 1.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to download anything? No. It runs in your phone or computer browser. You can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.
How long do I have access? 27 months from purchase.
Are the tracings real patient EKGs? No. Every tracing is computer-generated to show its finding clearly at standard paper speed and calibration, and each pattern comes in several versions so you learn the pattern rather than one picture.
What is the difference between Standard and Premium? Premium adds the 11 video lectures. Everything else is the same.
