ECG Mastery: Yellow Belt

This basic module breaks down the components of the ECG tracing so you can understand more advanced concepts of electrocardiography. The ABCs of ECGs.

In this level you learn how to measure intervals and amplitudes on the ECG. No need to carry a ruler with you! Counting and some simple math is all you need.

In this module, you learn what it means when intervals and amplitudes are off. There are only a few concepts you need to understand.

This level introduces you to the precordial leads and which areas of the heart they depict. It will pay off later to drill down into these important basics now!

Here you learn several important pearls and pitfalls regarding the precordial leads. We also introduce you to the nuts and bolts of bundle branch block.

The assessment of ventricular hypertrophy can seem complicated. After attending this module, you will be able to diagnose right and left ventricular hypertrophy like a pro.

In this level, you get an easy-to-understand introduction to ST depression and T negativity. This module is so essential, even savvy ECGologists will find it useful!

Whatever your field of expertise might be, this module on diagnosing myocardial infarction is one you absolutely, positively don’t want to miss.

Recognizing inferior wall myocardial infarction can be tricky. Here you learn what it takes to become great at it. Also, you’ll meet our cookbook: a step-by-step approach to evaluating any ECG.

This module will turn you into an expert at evaluating the ST segment and ST elevation myocardial infarction. Becoming intimate with the ST segment will help you save lives!

The evaluation of the cardiac axis is easier than it seems. But let’s be honest, the cardiac axis is not very useful in most cases. We’ll teach you when knowledge of the axis really makes a difference. Furthermore we’ll teach you how to diagnose atrial hypertrophy and atrial enlargement on the ECG...some underrated skills that can come in handy in certain situations.

Certain electrolyte disturbances can be suspected just by looking at the ECG. In this module, we’ll teach you what to look for.

Up until this point, rhythmology has not been touched upon in the Yellow Belt. In this module, we’ll teach you the criteria of normal sinus rhythm.
