Welcome to the iWorx ECG Case Study lab - where heartbeats become electric signals, and every tracing tells a story!
Electrocardiography (ECG) is an essential tool in assessing cardiac function and detecting abnormalities, and in this lab, you will step into the role of a cardiac detective.
Each heartbeat follows a structured process known as the cardiac cycle, which consists of systole (contraction) and diastole (relaxation). The cycle includes atrial and ventricular activity, ensuring efficient blood flow throughout the body. As you examine ECG tracings, learn to recognize key phases like P waves, QRS complexes, and T waves, each representing different electrical events in the heart.
Through looking at a variety of case studies, you’ll develop the skills to:
Interpret ECG patterns
Connect theory to practice
Sharpen your clinical reasoning
From normal rhythms to puzzling twists, each case will challenge your ability to decode the language of the heart. By applying hands-on analysis, you’ll gain confidence in interpreting ECGs and understanding their real-world significance.
