ECGs are often taught by rote learning and pattern recognition. A little extra attention to some basic anatomy and electrophysiology however will have your patients' ECGs whispering all their cardiac secrets to you. In this series we will work systematically through the ECG, building new insight and a solid, practical approach to ECG decoding. This episode gives a simple but unforgettable approach to cardiac anatomy, demystifies leads and what they are 'seeing', describes the most accurate method of measuring rate and outlines a basic method for describing rhythm.
