5 part lecture series on ECG/EKG Interpretation with Dr Theo Sklavos and cardiologist A/Prof William Wang. This lecture series is aimed primarily at medical/nursing/paramedicine students and junior trainees, but will hopefully be useful as a refresher course for the more experienced.

- Describe the parts of the ECG
- Rate, rhythm, axis
- P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST-segment, T wave, QT interval
- Identify the features of a normal ECG
