Learn monitor and 12-lead ECGs with live tracings, quizzes, lessons and cases.
Learn to read an ECG by observing, thinking and practicing.
This ECG training app brings together moving waveforms, quizzes, lessons and cases for monitor and 12-lead electrocardiograms. Whether you are starting to study ECGs or reviewing how to recognize abnormal findings, you can practice at your own pace.
■ Understand monitor ECGs with moving waveforms
Explore normal sinus rhythm, premature atrial contractions (PACs), premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), atrial fibrillation, AV block, ST elevation, ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). Watch tracings move in real time and review P waves, QRS complexes, T waves, heart rate and rhythm features. Compare waveforms to learn which features help distinguish arrhythmias.
■ 12-lead ECG interpretation, from basics to advanced findings
Progress from basic tracings for beginners to more complex abnormal findings. The waveform library, interpretation steps and quizzes help you examine individual leads and practice deciding where to focus your attention.
■ Understand the reasons with lessons and step-by-step learning
Textbook Mode offers basic, intermediate and advanced materials with questions to check your understanding. Master Mode provides a sequence of exercises on ECG fundamentals and waveform features. If you remember a rhythm's name but do not understand why it looks that way, return to its explanation and review it.
■ Practice reasoning with cases
In Case Mode, connect the information presented with the ECG. Go beyond memorizing names: organize the features you observe and deepen your understanding by reading the explanations.
■ Make repetition enjoyable with quizzes and challenges
Scores based on correct answers and response speed help you see your progress. Practice even when you only have a short break. Use learning records, strengths and weaknesses, and favorites to revisit waveforms and materials you want to review.
■ Find motivation in global leaderboards
Eligible monitor challenges offer optional participation in global leaderboards. Work toward a personal best and find encouragement to keep learning each day.
■ Who is it for?
• Nurses and nursing students learning the basics of ECGs, also called EKGs, and arrhythmias.
• Medical students and doctors in training who want to practice 12-lead ECG interpretation.
• Learners reviewing emergency medicine or cardiology topics.
• Anyone who wants to fit ECG quizzes into short breaks while preparing for classes or exams.
Whether ECGs feel difficult or you want to deepen your understanding, turn difficulty into understanding and discover the enjoyment of continued learning.
This app is for education and training. It is not a medical device for measuring or diagnosing ECGs from real patients and must not replace clinical care or emergency decisions.
