Physiology

ECG in action

No items found.

Practise key skills in electrocardiography (ECG), starting with the importance of proper electrode placement for accurate tracings. Delve into how different leads reflect the heart's electrical activity, and learn to estimate and interpret the heart's electrical axis for clinical assessment.

Learning outcomes

  • Demonstrate proper electrode placement and explain its impact on the quality of the ECG trace.
  • Compare how various leads show different ECG traces in relation to the electrical axis of the heart.
  • Determine the electrical axis of the heart using ECG data and interpret its clinical significance.

"I find Smart Worksheets a lot less stressful than full written lab reports and much easier to cope with in terms of my ADHD and anxiety. I feel that they allow people with learning difficulties to be assessed in a way that is more beneficial to our needs, and help us get the marks we may have lost out on in assignments with large chunks of writing, or take a lot longer to do."
