Course Overview

The Advanced Certificate in ECG Interpretation provides advanced knowledge and practical skills in the systematic interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECGs). The programme covers cardiac electrical activity, ECG leads and waveforms, heart rate and rhythm assessment, conduction abnormalities, axis determination, arrhythmia recognition, ischaemic changes, and common pathological ECG patterns. Learners develop a structured approach to ECG interpretation and the recognition of clinically significant findings in accordance with established clinical protocols.
