Follow a 7-Step Plan for Easy ECG Interpretation with Key Reference Points

1. Heart Rate: Quickly determine an approximate heart rate using the ruler for fast assessments.
2. Rhythm: Evaluate whether the heart rhythm is regular or irregular with simple visual cues.
3. Axis: Identify normal, left, or right axis deviations. Upward arrows indicate positive deflection, while downward arrows show negative deflection for clear interpretation.
4. PR Interval: Use the reference range in milliseconds to measure the PR interval with ease. Convenient block markings on the right side help ensure accuracy.
5. QRS Interval: Check the QRS and QTc intervals with clear millisecond ranges. The ruler blocks allow precise measurement of QRS intervals.
6. ST Elevation/Depression: Align the straight edge with the isoelectric line to determine any ST elevation or depression. The integrated ruler measures deviations in millimeters for accurate analysis.
7. T Wave: Quickly reference potential T wave abnormalities. The top-right guide shows the heart lead views, helping to identify myocardial infarction areas such as V1-V4 (Anteroseptal MI) or V3-V6 (Anterolateral MI).

This step-by-step reference tool simplifies ECG analysis, ensuring you never miss critical details in your assessment!
