LEVEL 1
Rhythms at a glance
There are several important and sometimes life-threatening rhythms that you should be able to recognize at a glance. Learn how to identify these rhythms instantly.
- Rhythms at a glance
6m 03s
- Rhythms at a glance quiz
LEVEL 2
Rapid and regular and broad
Here you learn how to differentiate between the different forms of regular broad complex tachycardias (the QRS complexes occur at regular intervals), a key skill in rhythm analysis.
- Rapid and regular and broad
8m 03s
- Rapid and regular and broad quiz
LEVEL 3
Rapid and regular and narrow
Learn about the different causes for regular narrow complex tachycardias and some valuable tricks on how to differentiate between them. Some of these tricks might even end the tachycardia entirely.

14m 20s
- Rapid and regular and narrow quiz
LEVEL 4
The P waves are not normal
P waves can do funny things. They can be absent, their orientation can be abnormal, and they can show up where you wouldn’t normally expect them. Learn what that tells us about the cardiac rhythm.

LEVEL 5
Too many P waves
Are you counting more P waves than QRS complexes on an ECG? This chapter will teach you the pearls and pitfalls when it comes to counting the Ps.
- Too many P waves
7m 07s
- Too many P waves quiz
LEVEL 6
High degree AV blocks
When there are more P waves than QRS complexes, high degree AV block might be at play. Learn what that that means and what forms of blocks there are.

LEVEL 7
The basic rhythm and its interruptions
In this level, you’ll learn what we mean by “basic rhythm,” in what ways the basic rhythm can be interrupted, and what to make of it.
