ECG Interpretation is the process of analyzing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) to assess the heart’s electrical activity.
It helps detect heart rhythm abnormalities, conduction problems, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.
Key Steps in ECG Interpretation:
-
Heart Rate – Count beats per minute.
-
Rhythm – Check if the heartbeat is regular or irregular.
-
P Wave – Assess atrial activity.
-
PR Interval – Evaluate conduction from atria to ventricles.
-
QRS Complex – Check ventricular depolarization.
-
ST Segment & T Wave – Identify ischemia, injury, or electrolyte imbalance.
Proper ECG interpretation is essential for diagnosing cardiac conditions and guiding treatment.
